Baking at high altitudes requires some adjustments in recipes. The lower atmospheric pressure at higher elevations affects the way ingredients interact, and can lead to baked goods that are dry, dense, or otherwise unsatisfactory. This is especially true for yeast breads, which rely on the expansion of air bubbles to create a light and airy texture. However, with a few simple modifications, it is possible to create perfect easy bread bowls at high altitudes. In this article, we'll share some tips and tricks to help you achieve delicious and fluffy bread bowls, even in the most challenging conditions.

EASY BREAD BOWLS - HIGH ALTITUDE



Easy Bread Bowls - High Altitude image

Like everything else in baking, high altitude poses its own set of problems. This 5 ingredient yeasty bread bowl, makes winter feel just a little more bearable. The outside is solid and crusty to contain liquids, but the inside is perfectly soft and chewy.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading and dusting
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 cups warm water
4 1/2 tablespoons instant yeast
1/4 cup sugar
olive oil flavored cooking spray, for bowl

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, instant yeast and the salt.
  • Add the warm water to the bowl and stir until combined.
  • Knead the dough in the bowl until it forms together in a ball.
  • Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and knead the dough for about 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Grease a clean bowl with oil, and place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
  • Gently deflate the dough by pressing in the center. Let rise again for about 20-25 minutes. (This second rise is important for high altitude.).
  • Once again gently deflate the dough by pressing in the center. Place the dough on a clean work surface and cut it into 8 equal pieces. I find it is easier to cut like a pizza so they end up the same size.
  • Shape the dough into balls. Place the shaped bowls on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and cover with a towel to rise for 40 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 435°F [Add 1 degree for every 500 ft above 6000].
  • Lightly dust the bowls with flour and use a sharp knife to slash the top of the bowls with an X pattern. Bake at 435F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crusty.
  • Let the bread cool slightly. Use a pairing knife to cut a circle out of the top of the bowls. Use a spoon to scoop out some of the extra bread so that you have enough room in the bowl for soup. Reserve the bread for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: This includes using fresh yeast, flour, and milk. Fresh ingredients will help to ensure that your bread bowls turn out light and fluffy.
  • Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast is a crucial step that helps to ensure that your bread bowls will rise properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give your bread bowls a chewy texture. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise: After kneading the dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will help to ensure that your bread bowls are light and airy.
  • Bake the bread bowls at a high temperature: Baking the bread bowls at a high temperature will help to create a crispy crust. Bake the bread bowls at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Bread bowls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They can be filled with a variety of soups, stews, or salads. They are also a great way to use up leftover bread. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious bread bowls at home.
