A delicious way to serve a warm winter soup.
by: Girl Versus Dough
Updated Nov 6, 2014

Ingredients

  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semolina
  • 2 3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water

Steps

  • 1
    Combine all of the dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix them together with a dough hook.
  • 2
    Once the dough has just come together, pour the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until soft and smooth (the dough will be kind of a pain to mix, and if it’s just too dry, add 1 tsp water to the dough at a time until it’s more manageable).
  • 3
    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • 4
    Divide the risen dough into five pieces and form each piece into a round (not flattened) ball. Place each ball on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and cover lightly with greased plastic wrap or a tea towel (something that’s not heavy). Let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • 5
    Uncover the balls and let them sit for 10-15 minutes to develop a tough skin. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • 6
    Before placing the balls in the oven, mist them heavily with water. Bake the bread bowls for 18-22 minutes or until they’re a deep, golden brown.
  • 7
    Turn off the oven and prop open the door a bit, leaving the bread bowls inside for 15 minutes to develop a thick, tough crust.
  • 8
    Remove the bread bowls from the oven and let cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting. Cut off the tops and remove the insides, leaving about a 1/4-inch thickness all around the inside. Fill the bowls with your favorite hearty soup or chili.
