Best 3 Pumpkin Bread Bowls Recipes

PUMPKIN BREAD BOWLS

Steps:

• Cut a 1/2-in. slice off each loaf to make pumpkin stems; cover and refrigerate until baking time. Cut remainder of each loaf into 4 pieces and form each into a smooth ball. Place on 2 greased baking sheets; cover with lightly greased plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Divide reserved dough slices into fourths; shape each piece into a stem. Using the tip of a sharp knife, push a stem into the top of each bun. Combine egg and water; gently brush over dough. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Slice off tops and hollow out inside of bowls. Discard removed bread or save for another use. Fill bowls with chili, soup or stew.

ROASTED PUMPKIN SOUP BOWLS

Steps:

• Spray inside and outside of pumpkin with cooking spray.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place pumpkin, pulp-side down, on the grate. Close the lid. Grill until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Turn over, skin-side down; grill until pulp is very soft and lightly charred, 20 to 30 minutes. Reduce heat as necessary to keep the grill temperature below 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Let pumpkin cool on the grill.
• Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions; saute until translucent and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock, cornstarch, and curry powder; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thick and foamy and cornstarch is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
• Scoop pulp out of the pumpkin, reserving the hard shell to use as bowl. Add pulp to the stock mixture, breaking up any large lumps. Stir in milk, sour cream, soy sauce, and sugar. Blend soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until just starting to boil, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Serve in the pumpkin shells.

NO KNEAD HOLIDAY PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Place pumpkin puree into a large mixing bowl and whisk in 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water, salt, yeast, and pumpkin pie spice until thoroughly combined. Beat in flour to make a dry crumbly dough. Keep stirring until dough becomes smooth and sticky, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Cover bowl with a damp towel and let dough stand 12 to 16 hours to rise.
• Generously sprinkle cornmeal onto center area of a baking sheet. Scrape dough out of bowl, using a floured spatula, onto a heavily floured work surface. Dough will be very sticky. Dust dough with flour and gently flatten into an oblong shape. Fold 2 opposite rounded ends together to meet in the center; fold remaining 2 rounded ends to meet in the center, creating a rectangle of dough. Using well-floured hands, gently form into a round loaf with the seams on the bottom.
• Transfer dough round onto center of prepared baking sheet. Dust top and sides of loaf generously with more flour.
• Dust a dry towel with flour and place towel with floured side down over loaf. Let rise until loaf has almost doubled in size, 1 1/2 hours. Use a sharp knife to cut a 1/2-inch deep slit across the top of the loaf.
• Place a loaf pan containing about 2 inches of water onto a bottom rack of oven. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bake on center rack of the preheated oven for 30 minutes; turn bread around in oven. Continue to bake until bread is golden brown and crusty, about 20 more minutes. Let bread cool completely on a rack before slicing.
