First time that I've made bread bowls and they turned out wonderful. I took the advice in another persons review and added 1T. of sugar to the dough, and I only brushed the tops with water before placing in the oven. Next time I will only make four bowls instead of eight.

I added 2 T sugar and they turned out with a really good flavor. I should have listened and made 8 bowls but I made 4 humongous ones instead. Next time for sure I'll use 8. I used inverted dishes to make them round and I think I'll try it without them next time. Yum!

This was my first attempt at making a bread bowl. I read all the reviews and decided I would make 1/2 inverted over pyrex dishes and 1/2 the way the recipe said. They all turned out good. I did add about 1 tsp. of sugar thinking it might help them rise higher. I don't know if that worked, but these were delicious! The bread is delicious even on it's own. I served chili in them and even my kids kept saying "Mom, these are really good!" Great recipe I will use often.

First time I made bread and these ame out great! Even though they weren't tall bowls, they held chowder just fine, and even held up to go back for more. These are great!

These are very good when dipped in soup. I have yet to put soup in one because they did indeed turn out too flat but next time I will try cooking them in round ramekins.

Great bowls! The whole family loved it. I used my bread machine, then inverted the dough over oven safe bowls and cooked it that way, using only water instead of the egg white/water mixture. Will definitely be making these again. Easy and delicious!

This is a very good, tasty, crusty, white bread. I had problems keeping them round, so I have made alluminum foil bowls and also have used small, round pyrex dishes, coated the inside with non-stick cooking spray, and let them rise and cook in those. The crust won't brown as nicely, but they make beautiful bowls. I usually scrape them out and fill it with either that African Chicken Stew or a chili, anything that is hearty but saucy.

Great recipe. This bread recipe was not only easy to make but the bread is VERY tasty! Some bowls tended to be a little flat but still worked great for a soup bowls. The girls LOVED them at our last ladies night - soup and salad - YUM!

Excellent bread bowls!!! I made half the recipe for me & hubby. I added a bit of sugar to proof the yeast. Maybe it is so dry here (-40 outside!) that I only needed 2.25 cups flour instead of 3.5 cups to make a nice dough in the kitchenaid. After reading the reviews on about the "flatness" of the bowls, I shaped them into 4 round rolls instead. They rose perfectly and flattened out a little bit. I skipped the first egg wash and they came out gorgeous! Beautiful golden, shiny on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Served them with chicken stew/chicken pot pie filling.

easy to make. I just put everything in the bread machine. But this is way too much bread for my liking. I made two big ones, big mistake, they were way to big. 4 small ones would have been better. It is a good recipe but just not for my family, you realy have to like bread a lot to eat this.

Absolutly love this recipe! This bread bowl was my first attempt at making any kind of bread and I've made it several times. Love, love, love it! But instead of making 8 little bowls I make four larger ones and bake them a little longer. Turns out Great!

Had difficulty with actually getting good bowl shapes as recommended. Came up with a solution that worked great for me. Follow recipe as given, but use an inverted oven safe cereal bowl as a form, spray with Pam, and simply take an appropriate size cut of dough and wrap it around the bowl. Be sure its not overly thick unless you really like thick bread. Bake for 12-15 min.and you have a perfect bowl every time.

I've made these bread bowls a number of times, and always get rave reviews. We usually have them with a creamy clam chowder. Some have commented that the "bowls" tend to flatten out. I have had this problem too, but I have a solution: purchase a couple of 5 inch diameter by 3 inch deep aluminum cake pans. They are just the right size for bread bowls. Although the cylindrical bowls aren't quite as interesting as spherical ones, they are just as good and are always consistantly shaped!

I was really looking forward to a good recipe, but these bowls are much too small and too flat for a good bowl of soup. I followed the recipe to a T. Still searching for a good bread bowl...

These turned out wonderful! I mixed the dough in my bread machine on the dough setting and then put the dough in small disposable pie tins for the second rise. This kept them in a nice bowl shape.

I frequently bake yeast breads. When this one did not seem to rise, I stuck it in the oven counting on eating my soup in a regular bowl and using the bread to dip. When I checked on it 15 minutes later, I was very suprised, but very happy, to see a tall, bowl-worthy bread! A great recipe!
