Bread Bowls

Posted on by

Soup in a bread bowl!  This little treat thrilled our children.  The bread is from our basic whole wheat recipe, only we added in 1 cup of whole golden flaxseed.  The result was beautiful and delicious.

For the adults, we oiled the outside of oven safe soup bowls and placed the dough on the outside of each bowl.  For the children, we used small mason jars.  We oiled down the bottom of each jar and covered each with dough.

These took about 12 minutes at 375 degrees.  After cooling, the bread pops off and is ready to use for your favorite soup!
