If you don't have a bread maker, prepare this recipe the night before!

To have bowls rather than flat discs, after dividing into 6 portions, roll each out to a 10 inch circle. Grease oven safe bowls on the outside of the bowl with crisco. Turn bowl upside down and form disc around greased outside of bowl. Bake these bowls on a cookie sheet upside down in a 350 degree oven until lightly browned. Take out and cool for about 10 minutes (still upside down). Invert and shake off bowl.

I made these bread bowls over the weekend for my husband and mother in law and they came out great! I made exactly how the recipe states except I divided into three large bowls since they were for dinner and used the whole egg for the egg wash and only put the egg wash on about 5 minutes before taking it out of the oven. The bowls did rise but then deflated when I took the wrap off, but they still came out delicious and held enough soup for dinner. I also thought the bread tasted delicious. Thank you for the recipe!

I just made these except I don't have a bread maker so I just did it by hand. I did add 1/4C flour though, because it was too doughy. Other than that it's a great recipe! Loved them!

My guys came home from hunting too hungry to wait while I hollowed out the breads to make bread bowls so I served them as large rolls with my chili. Absolutely awesome. Will be making these again as rolls and some day as bread bowls.

I only made the bread dough in my machine NOT the soup. I followed the recipe as is in my machine and it was FLAWLESS! I divided into 3 balls for good size bowls and let it rise for about half hour THEN added my egg whites THEN I put in the oven as told. FLAWLESS! I cut the tops off and added my own homemade sausage potato soup MMMMMMMMM!!! I made this before and added sloppy joe from the can and was YUM!!!

The two stars are for taste, otherwise it would have gotten 1 star. I know this is harsh but I've made this recipe THREE times, two as bread bowls and once as a loaf. It didn't rise any of the three times, at least not in the oven. It rose very well when it was proofing but somehow in all three instances (two oven bakings, one breadmaker baking) it fell during baking. Sorry, Darlene, the bread tastes great but I needed a "go-to" recipe and this isn't it.

Followed another review and didn't let the dough rise in the bread machine, but formed the dough and then let the dough rise once for an hour. This keeps the bowls from deflating. Great recipe!

I followed this recipe exactly (minus the egg wash, cuz I didnt want to mess with the egg) and LOOOOVVVVE IT !! I used it the other day for bread bowls and it was greatI I let it run the full cycle including the rise in the BM and so they didnt rise as well as I would have liked when I shaped them. I just bought a baguette pan and used this to make 3 baguettes and they are to die for! This time I only let the BM knead the dough then I cut it into three pieces (for my baguettes) then put it in a warm oven with a bowl of boiling water to proof for 30 minutes. They raised perfectly. I have 3 BEAUTIFUL baguettes with a nice crust and soft and moist on the inside with lots of flavor. I used challenge taste of tuscany butter so it has garlic and seasonings and it adds lots of good flavor as well. I will recomment this recipe to anyone.

I prefer sourdough bread bowls, but as far as non sourdough bowls go, these are awesome. My boyfriend loves them and requests them all the time. I've made them at least 3 times and I've substituted bread flour for all - purposes once. I actually like them with the all purpose flour! The egg wash really adds a great touch.
