A super easy bread bowl recipe perfect for soups, stews or snything else you’d like to fill it with! I love a good bread bowl and these are fun to make and fill. They hold up well with any filling without getting soggy on the bottom and you can save the centers to make an amazing fresh breadcrumb.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 1/2 tsps salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs oil
1 package of dry active yeast
3 cups of flour
Sesame seeds for top (optional)
Add the warm water to a large mixing bowl, adding the sugar, salt,oil,and dry yeast. Mix well and let sit for five minutes until yeast looks foamy on top. Gradually add in flour, until dough comes together. Knead a bit dusting with flour, remove from bowl, knead on surface (not necessary, can knead it it bowl too, less clean up) bringing the outer edges in towards the center and pushing down. Shape into a ball and place into lightly greased bowl. Cover and let rise until dough is halfway doubled. Punch dough down, knead just a bit, shape into a ball, cover and let rise until dough has fully doubled. Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit and section dough into quarters. Shape into balls by bringing edges in to the bottom, placing onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with water, score the tops with a knife, sprinkle on sesame seeds, cover and let rise for 30 minutes or until they have almost doubled in size. Bake at 325 until golden brown on top. Place on a wire rack to cool. Serve and enjoy!
