I really liked these. I only had white wheat flour, so I think that may have affected my overall bread. It was a little dry, and I think I will use quite a bit more salt next time. I made brocolli cheese soup to fill these with! Very tasty!

So easy using the bread machine to make the dough. I halved the recipe so it would fit in the machine. I proofed the yeast with 1 TBS of sugar first and then added the rest of the ingredients, along with 1 tsp of garlic powder and some dried basil. I did not have cornmeal, so I sprinkled some seasoned salt and onion powder on top. I skipped the first egg wash as it will only make the bread flop by touching it. It is best to just leave them alone. I don´t know why other reviews stated that making 8 bowls made them very small. I thought they were perfectly sized and would not make them any larger. I have made several batches and they look great. Hold soup well and I will be making these again for sure.

Bread can be tricky to make but if you follow the instuctions you shouldn't have any problems. This recipe was very helpful and it turned out great. I followed another reviewers tip and let the bread rise in the oven with a pot of boiling water, that worked like a charm. If you have a kitchenaid stand mixer this recipe is a breeze. The bread turned out great and made perfect bowls! I will definitley be using this as my go to bread bowl recipe.

My daughter fell in love with soup in a bread bowl and now we don't have to go to a restaurant to get it. Bowls were great but I did let them rise for more than the recipe called for.

My bowls completely flattened out. Next time I will omit the first egg wash since this seemed to deflate them a tad.

Sub 2 tbs for 4 tbs butter for taste. Bread flour will give you a better, fluffier bread. I never use electric mixers to kneed bread, you get better results by hand. Also when dissolving yeast in warm water make sure it dosent get hotter than 110 as it will kill the yeast, sprinkle with a pinch of sugar, the yeast likes sugar.

I absolutely love this basic recipe & use it all the time! I have made a few changes: I cut the salt to 1 1/2 tsp, add 1 TBS of sugar and every now and then with a pasta dinner I will toss in 1/8Cup parsley flakes & replace the salt with garlic salt, adding 1/2 tsp of Garlic powder & about 3 shakes of grated parm. This recipe makes fantastic, restaurant style mini-table loaves, bread bowls & all sorts of dinner rolls. Fantastic recipe! I use my bread machines dough setting - adding all liquid, then all dry, then the yeast & I simply shape and bake.

I added half a tablespoon of sugar, along with the warm water and yeast. I made six bowls, instead of eight, as other reviewers suggested. I also omitted the first egg wash. My bread bowls came out great, and this was a pretty easy recipe. It makes for a great presentation filled with vegetarian chili. YUM :)
