These last few months have been long and cold for us here in Utah. We tend to eat soup by the gallon during the winter to try and warm up. Nothing goes better with soup than a nice, warm bread bowl! They were so easy and delicious, I will never buy them from the bakery again!
Homemade Bread Bowls Recipe:
(Makes 6 bread bowls)
Ingredients:
2 cups + 4 Tablespoons warm water
2 packages of active dry yeast (5 1/2 teaspoons)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
3 teaspoons salt
6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Using a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add warm water and sprinkle in yeast. Let dissolve for a few minutes until yeast becomes foamy. Add melted butter, sugar and salt and mix until combined. Gradually add flour. Once combined, allow your mixer to knead the dough for about 5 minutes (you could do this by hand if you weren’t using a mixer, but it may get a little tiring!). Punch dough down and form into 6 equal sized balls. Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise until doubled. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool and cut off the top, remove some of the bread from the inside and fill with soup or dip.
Look for soup to enjoy in your bread bowl?

Getting ready to make these right now but am wondering if you need to let the dough rise after the mixing before punching down and forming into the balls??
Hi Lisa!
You only have to let them rise after they are rolled into balls.
Thanks!
This is fantastic!! I’d love to make these – with your tomato/tortellini soup recipe inside!

I’m inspired. I have never tried a bread bowl before. I think I’ll have to do that. I have some Tumbleweed Contessa chili just dying to be put in one of these! Thanks.

Ooo, this is definitely what we’re having for dinner! With a creamy chicken broccoli soup. Thanks for the recipe! Have you done them with wheat flour? I decided to try it half & half with fresh ground wheat flour and AP flour.
