Virtual Sefer Crusty Home-Style Bread Bowls

Crusty Home-Style Bread Bowls
ingredients for 6 servings :
1 cup water
2 3/4 cups Bread Flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Fleischmann's Bread Machine Yeast
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
preparation:
Measure carefully, placing all ingredients EXCEPT egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water
into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Select Dough/Manual cycle.
Grease the OUTSIDES of six 10 ounce pyrex custard cups. Place the cups upside
down
on an ungreased cookie sheet. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Pat or roll each
piece into a 7" circle on a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough circles over the
outsides of the prepared custard cups. Do not allow the dough to curl under the edges
of
the custard cups. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 20 minutes or until slightly
puffy.
Heat the oven to 375x. Mix the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water; brush gently over
the bread bowls. Bake for 18 22 minutes, or until the bread bowls are golden brown.
Carefully lift the bread bowls off the custard cups. Be VERY careful both the bread
and
the custard cups will be very hot.
Cool the bread bowls upright on a wire rack.

NOTES: These are a lot of fun. Fill with beef stew, chicken a la king, chili or
other thick soup or stew.
