Divide into six portions; shape into balls. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes. Brush with egg white. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and a pinch of salt; cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup water, the tomatoes, squash, chicken broth, parmesan rind, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.

BEER CHEESE SOUP IN A BREAD BOWL WITH KIELBASA "CROUTONS"

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, mustard powder and cayenne. Cook the vegetables until tender and translucent, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the bread bowls. Using a sharp knife, slice the top off of each boule to use as a topper. Hollow out the middle with a fork or your fingers, leaving a thick bread shell. Save the removed bread for another use.

SOURDOUGH BREAD BOWLS

Steps:

• For the sourdough starter:.
• In a medium bowl, stir the yeast into the lukewarm water. Let the mixture activate (should take about 15 minutes to bubble). Add the bread flour and stir. Cover with a dish towel and let sit for 2-3 days. It's best if you store the starter where the room temperature is warm (80-85 degrees). To keep the starter going, you have to "feed" it. For each 1 cup you take out, replace with 1/2 cup water and 1 cup flour.
• For the bread bowls:.
• Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center.
• Give the starter a good stir as it separates after sitting a while. Add the cup of starter and the 1/2 cup of water to the flour and stir until it forms a rough dough. You will probably need to use your hands to work the dough until it comes together into a ball.
• On a clean work surface, lightly cover with flour and roll the dough in it. Knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and satiny.
• Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl to rise. Cover with a clean dish towel and place in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size (about 2 hours).
• Remove the dough from the bowl and punch it down to knock most of the volume out of it.
• Then knead the bread briefly, just to get it back into a nice ball shape.
• Cut the dough in half, then cut each piece in half again.
• Knead each of the pieces just until they're round again. Form the pieces of dough into ball shapes and tuck any loose edges or seams underneath.
• Place the dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet as far apart as you can.
• Put the baking sheet somewhere warm to let the dough rise a second time until doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours).
• Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then at 375 degrees for another 30 minutes. When done, they will make a hollow sound when you tap them on the bottom.
• Cut a circle in the top and hollow out much of the bread inside to make room for some delicious soup!

BREAD BOWLS FOR THE BREAD MACHINE

Steps:

• Beat the egg and place along with milk and water in microwave container. Microwave for 40 seconds on high. Or you can warm the milk & water how you prefer and bring egg to room temperature. Place in bread machine in accordance to your machine, or follow ingredients as I have listed.
• Add remaining ingredients and set on dough cycle. This is a 1.5 pound recipe.
• Once cycle is complete, take out dough to a floured surface & cut into 4 equal sizes. Don't work the dough too much, just enough to shape into rounds. Spread a thin layer of cornmeal on baking pan. Place all four dough rounds on pan and cover with thin towel to let rise in non-drafty area for about an hour.
• NOTE: I've come to find this recipe works best on dark pans rather than regular cookie sheets. It browns better on the bottom and gives the bowls a better dense texture to hold the fillings better.
• Once doubled, bake in pre-heated oven at 350º for 20-25 minutes. If you are a higher elevation, bake 325º for 15-20 minutes. Or until golden brown.
• Remove from pan and place on cooling rack.
• For the bowls, cut a thin layer across top and hollow out to about 1/4-1/2 inch in thickness. Fill with your favorite chili, chowder, or stew.
