Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Water Luke Warm
  • 1 tsp Yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Salt

Method
 

  1. In your stand mixer or bowl, combine water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until bubbly. If it doesn't get bubbly, stop here, get new yeast and try again.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the mixer and mix until you've created a smooth dough
  3. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for an hour or two.
  4. Divide into 2 pieces, 12 ounces each.
  5. Roll each piece into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet. Alternatively, use a silicon mat on the baking sheet.
  6. Dust the top of the dough with some flour or lightly oil so it won't be sticky. Cover the bread bowls with plastic wrap. Set aside for 2-3 hours.
  7. Just before baking, preheat the oven to 425f and slash the dough to create a pattern.
  8. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bowls are deep brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool. Once cool, cut out the top and burrow into the bread to make a bowl.

Notes

This will yield 24 ounces of dough. You may need to adjust the bake time if you split the dough into smaller loaves.
