Homemade Bread Bowls

In the spirit of making more food from home, I had to recreate one of my favorite Panera orders, the bread bowl! I paired it with my broccoli cheddar soup, but it would also pair well with any soup, chowders, or mac & cheese!

Ingredients

• 1¼ cup warm water
• 2½ tsp instant dry yeast
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar can use honey instead
• 2 tsp salt 3
• 3 cups flour all purpose
• 2 tbsp olive oil

For the eggwash:

• 1 egg white
• 1 tbsp water

Instructions

• In a large bowl combine water + yeast + sugar, stir to combine. Let it stand for 5-10 mins until foamy. Add the flour, salt and olive oil and mix until a dough mixture begins to come together.
• Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Add more flour if too sticky. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise on the counter for 1 hour.
• Remove dough from bowl and cut into 3 equal pieces. Form round balls and cover with a towel to let rise once more for 30 mins. They will have doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 400 F. Coat the dough in the egg wash and bake for 20 mins, until golden brown. Allow to cool before cutting the center out to create a well in the bread.
