Servings: 6 bread bowls
Calories: 550kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast 2 packets
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 5 ½ cups flour bread or all purpose
Egg Wash
- 1 egg white
- 1 Tbsp. water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, and then stir in yeast. Allow to proof until foamy (about 5 minutes).
- Mix oil into the yeast.
- In a large bowl mix flour and salt. Pour liquid mixture into flour mixture.
- Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth (or use your bread hook/paddle on your kitchenmaid).
- Place in a well oiled large bowl, and turn dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down and divide into 6 portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place on greased baking sheet.
- Cover and allow dough to rise 40 minutes.
- Place a shallow pan (I use an 8x8 brownie pan) of water inside oven on the bottom rack. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. The water creates steam while the bread bakes.
- Mix the egg white with 1 Tbsp. of water. Brush dough balls with egg wash.
- Bake bread bowls for 20 minutes. Brush with egg mixture again, then bake another 15 minutes.
- Let bread cool. Slice top off of roll and scoop inside bread out. Save bread for dipping in soup.
- Fill with chili, chowder or soup.

Notes
I preheat my oven for 60 seconds and then shut it off. It makes for the perfect warm spot for my rolls to raise.
