Soup Accessory of the Day


Before Christmas, I visited here and made a wonderful discovery. If you want to make homemade soup even more special, you can make your own bread bowls. I'm re-posting the recipe here (with my edits). They are very easy and surprisingly quick for something that requires yeast and rising. (pictured above with yummy Minnesota Wild Rice Soup)


BREAD BOWLS

2 Tbsp. yeast
2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
5 cups flour

Mix yeast and sugar with with warm water and allow to sit for 5-10 mins until foamy. Add salt and flour and knead until relatively stiff.(I used the dough hook on my Kitchenaid) Form into 6 round balls and place on greased cookie sheets. Allow space so they don't touch each other. Let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 375° for 25 minutes. Cut a circle in the top of the roll, pull off top and scoop out bread to make a bowl.

So when am I coming over for some soup?

Because that is the easiest way for me to make the bread rolls.

Yeah, a Stars Wars Encyclopedia does exist. Didn't know how we lived without it.

Em, I've never tried it with whole wheat flour, because I only made them the one time. So let me know how it works out for you, because I would love to make it that way too.
