Be careful when handling hot bread bowls as they can be quite hot, especially when just out of the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before enjoying!

1

Prepare the bread dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of instant yeast, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well. Slowly add 1 and 1/2 cups of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.

2

Knead and let the dough rise

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

3

Shape the bread bowl cups

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Take one portion and shape it into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly and use your hands to create a deep well in the center, forming a cup shape. Repeat with the remaining portions of dough.

4

Let the cups rise again

Place the shaped dough cups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes in a warm place.

5

Bake the bread bowl cups

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the cups have finished their second rise, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
