Ingredients

  • 3 ½ - 4 cups flour (we prefer bread, can use all-purpose or whole wheat)
  • 1 package instant yeast (2 ¼ teaspoon = 1 package)
  • 2 tablespoon vegan cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon dairy free milk, for brushing

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.  Then, add in the water and oil.
  • Using a spatula, fold until mostly combined.  Sprinkle a little more flour if needed to not be sticky and form a ball.  
  • Once ball is formed, grease the same bowl mixed in and place the dough ball back into the bowl. 
  • Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place. 
  • Once doubled, roll out onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. *We prefer to weigh the pieces on a scale so they are even.
  • Grab a piece and fold the ends under shaping into a ball. Then roll the dough into a ball.
  • Place on a large baking sheet and repeat with remaining pieces.
    *If you place them close together they will end up touching. If you want perfectly round bread bowls, do not put them close together.
  • Cover with a lightly damp towel.
  • Let sit for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft free place or until doubled in size again.
  • Remove towel and brush with dairy free milk across each.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven.
  • Let cool a bit. Then angle a knife about 2 inches into the bread and cut a circle around the top (see video if you need a visual).
  • Remove the top and tear out any pieces needed to make the bowl shape seen in the photos.
  • Add your favorite hot soup to the bowls and enjoy!
  • Can be store at room temperature for 5-7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
