Ingredients
For the Bread Bowls:
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons dry active yeast 2 packages
- 7 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups warmed water 105-110 Fahrenheit
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 Tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
For the Egg Wash:
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Place the water, yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a large bowl of a stand up mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy and activated.
- Then stir in the melted butter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and salt.
- Reduce the speed on the mixer to low. Slowly add the flour mixture (1 cup at a time) until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes (with your hands or your mixer). The dough should be tacky but not sticky. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour (1 tablespoon) at a time until it reaches that consistency.
- Place the dough in an oil bowl. Roll the dough around in the bowl to cover the dough in the oil. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise until it has doubled in size (1 1/2 -2 hours).
- Divide the dough into 6 even pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the dough balls on the baking sheet.
- Use a sharp knife to make a small “X” on the top of each ball.
- Stir together the egg wash ingredients and brush this mixture on top of the rolls.
- Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and allow them to rise again until they have doubled in size (30-40 more minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit while the rolls are rising.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
- Cool for 15-20 minutes until the bread can easily be handled.
- When serving, cut a large round out of the top of each bread bowl with a serrated knife and gently scoop out the center of the rolls. Then the bread bowls are ready to fill with soup and enjoy!

Notes
- You can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. But we love serving them fresh and warm right after they are baked!
