Description
Warm, crusty homemade bread bowls that are golden on the outside, soft on the inside, and perfect for holding creamy soups or hearty stews.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in olive oil and salt, then gradually add all purpose flour until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a smooth round ball.
- Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, cover, and let rise briefly.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
- Cool slightly, then cut a circle from the top and hollow out the center to form bowls.
- Fill with warm soup and serve immediately.
Notes
- Let the dough rise fully for the best texture.
- Do not add too much flour, slightly sticky dough gives softer bread.
- Serve immediately after filling to prevent sogginess.
