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.
