Bread Machine Bread Bowls

Axe's Note:

I've been finding that making bread bowls can be tricky because if you let them rise too long, they tend to flatten out. Try to stick to the timing as best you can. Use the 2lb. setting on your machine if you have the option.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 tablespoons soft butter
• 4 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 active dry yeast, packages
• 1 egg white, beaten

Directions:

1. Place everything but the egg white in your bread machine in the order that your manufacturer recommends.
2. Use dough cycle.
3. When the cycle is complete, turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 6 equal portions and shape into balls.
4. Place the 6 balls onto a greased cookie sheet and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
5. Brush with beaten egg white.
6. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
7. Once done, you can cut the top off and scoop out the center leaving about 1/4 inch on all sides.

These are great, I did them the old fashioned way by hand. Next time will take everyone else's advice and divide the dough into four bowls instead of six. Thanks!

These were very good.Mine did not turn out "picture worthy", but I was cutting the tops off anyway ;o) .Were perfect with cheesesteak soup,Big Daddy's Cheesesteak Soup.

These turned out beautifully for us. We also made four instead of six. I think they would be pretty small if you made six. Thanks!
