ITALIAN BREAD BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Add salt, oil and 4 cups flour to the yeast mixture; beat well. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well with an electric mixer at medium speed after each addition.
• When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Punch dough down, and divide into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a 4 inch round loaf. Place loaves on lightly greased baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled in bulk, about 35 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a small bowl, beat together egg white and 1 tablespoon water; lightly brush the loaves with half of this egg wash.

BREAD BOWLS FROM FROZEN ROLLS

Steps:

• Place frozen rolls on a greased cookie sheet - you will need three per bowl. You don't need to place them super far apart because you'll be combining them anyways!
• Cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise for about five hours. I let them rise overnight and that worked well.
• Once they have risen, combine three of the rolls together and roll into a big, round ball.
• Place each ball back on the cookie sheet, brush with egg wash, cover with greased plastic wrap, and let rise 2-3 hours in a warm spot.
• Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven. When cool enough to handle, cut off the top of each bread bowl, and remove the inside of the bowl.
• Let cool and then serve immediately or store for another time.
