Prep Time 5 hours
Cook Time 26 minutes
Course Side Dish
Cuisine American
Servings 2 Loaves

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the mixer and mix until you've created a smooth dough
  • Allow the dough to rise, covered, for an hour or two.
  • Divide into 2 pieces, 12 ounces each.
  • Roll each piece into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet. Alternatively, use a silicon mat on the baking sheet.
  • 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.
  • Just before baking, preheat the oven to 425f and slash the dough to create a pattern.
  • Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bowls are deep brown.
  • 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.
