Tips:

Use the right bread. A sturdy bread that can hold its shape is best, such as sourdough, French bread, or Italian bread.
Cut the bread correctly. The size and shape of the bread bowl will depend on how you cut the bread. For a classic round bowl, cut a circle in the center of the bread and remove the center.
Hollow out the bread. Use a spoon or your fingers to carefully remove the bread from the inside of the bowl, leaving about 1/2-inch of bread around the sides.
Brush the bread with butter or oil. This will help the bread to brown and crisp in the oven.
Bake the bread bowl. Bake the bread bowl in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and crispy. The baking time will vary depending on the size and type of bread.
Fill the bread bowl with your favorite soup, stew, or chili. You can also use the bread bowl to serve salads, pasta dishes, or even desserts.

Bread bowls are a delicious and easy way to enjoy your favorite soups, stews, and chilis. They are also a great way to use up leftover bread.
