Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups water Aim for 107-110° F, warm
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast two 1/4 oz packets
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5-6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 egg (or milk) optional

Instructions

  1. Stir yeast and granulated sugar into the water. Set aside to proof.
  2. In a large bowl, measure out 4 1/2 cups of flour with the salt. Stir. Add in the melted butter and stir to cool (if the butter was still warm from being melted).
  3. Pour in the yeasty water mixture and stir with the dough hook to combine. You may have to scrape as you go to incorporate all of the flour. Once the dough comes together, keep sprinkling in flour until dough cleans the sides of the bowl and it is sticky to the touch but won't stick to your hands. (I added in 5 3/4 cups total.)
  4. Knead 6 minutes. Grease ball of dough and bowl generously, cover with plastic wrap, and set in a warm spot to rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down dough, divide into eight equal portions, form into balls, and place on the baking sheet to rise another 30 minutes to an hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 350° F. Brush bread bowls with beaten egg (optional step) and bake 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool 20 minutes.
  7. Cut a circle out the top to create a bowl. Scoop out the insides to create a deeper well. Fill with stew, soup, or chili! Serve.
