How To Make Bread Bowls Recipe

Here's How:

1. Start with a round loaf of crusty sourdough or French bread from a bakery or make your own.
2. Use a serrated knife to slice off the top of the round crusty bread loaf.
3. Cut or pull the soft center of the loaf away from the shell, leaving a 1-inch thickness of soft bread dough around the inside of the crust.
4. Melt 1/4 cup butter or olive oil with 1 clove of pressed garlic and 1 tsp minced fresh parsley.
5. Brush inside of bread bowl and dough side of lid with butter mixture.
6. Bake in conventional or toaster oven at 400 F. for 5 to 10 minutes until golden.
7. Let cool.

2. The top may be used as a lid or cut into dippers.
3. Save the inside bread dough for croutons or bread crumbs.
4. You may omit the butter, oil, and garlic, if you wish.
