Bread Bowls From Frozen Dough Recipes

EASY BREAD BOWLS

Steps:

• Lightly grease outsides of six 10-ounce custard cups with shortening (do not use cooking spray). Place cups upside down on large cookie sheet.
• Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then pat into 6- inch round. Place rounds over bottoms of custard cups. Brush dough with oil. Sprinkle with basil and garlic salt. Cover and let rise in warm place 20 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350°. Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cups and place right side up on wire rack. (Interiors of bread bowls may be slightly moist.)
• To serve, place warm or cooled bread bowls in individual shallow soup or pasta bowls. Spoon soup, stew or chili into bread bowls.

BREAD BOWLS FROM FROZEN DOUGH

Steps:

• Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• Slice the thawed dough into 6 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a tight ball.
• Place dough balls 4-inches apart on a prepared baking sheet, and brush with egg. Spray a large piece of plastic wrap with nonstick cooking spray, and lightly cover plastic wrap over dough. Let dough rise in a warm place until double in size, about 2-3 hours.
• Carefully remove plastic wrap. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool bread on a wire rack until just warm.
• With a knife at an angle, slice the top off of the bread. Compress sides and bottom of the bread to form a well. Fill with your favorite soup, stew, chili, or dip. Serve.

BREAD BOWLS

Steps:

• Cut loaf into 3 equal portions; form each into a ball. Place 4 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2-3 hours. Brush with egg. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Cut the top fourth off each loaf; carefully hollow out top and bottom, leaving 1/2-in. shell. (Discard bread from inside or save to make croutons or bread crumbs.) Fill with soup, dip or salsa. Replace top if desired.

BREAD BOWLS FROM FROZEN ROLLS

Steps:

• Place frozen rolls on a greased cookie sheet - you will need three per bowl. You don't need to place them super far apart because you'll be combining them anyways!
• Cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise for about five hours. I let them rise overnight and that worked well.
• Once they have risen, combine three of the rolls together and roll into a big, round ball.
• Place each ball back on the cookie sheet, brush with egg wash, cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise 2-3 hours in a warm spot.
• Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, cut off the top of each bread bowl, and remove the inside of the bowl.
• Let cool and then serve immediately or store for another time.

BREAD BOWLS II

Steps:

• Thaw bread dough.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Divide bread dough into fourths. Roll each fourth into an 8 inch circle.
• Brush the back of 4 oven-safe bowls with oil or cooking spray. Place bowls upside down on a baking sheet. Place dough circles on bowls. Brush edge of dough with water and fold it back into a "hem" to make a bowl rim.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 18 to 20 minutes.
