We had a little snow today. I took advantage of the fact that this is probably one of our last cold weather days of this spring to make mom's Clam Chowder recipe. I wanted to make some homemade bread bowls to go along with it. So, after reading a dozen or so different recipes, I decided on this one from Six Sisters' Stuff. They were easy to make and turned out perfectly - so delicious! Click here to read full instructions.
(Makes 6 bread bowls)
Ingredients:
- 2 cups + 4 Tablespoons warm water
- 2 packages of active dry yeast (5 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions: Using a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add warm water and sprinkle in yeast. Let dissolve for a few minutes until yeast becomes foamy. Add melted butter, sugar and salt and mix until combined. Gradually add flour. Once combined, allow your mixer to knead the dough for about 5 minutes (you could do this by hand if you weren't using a mixer, but it may get a little tiring!). Punch dough down and form into 6 equal sized balls. Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise until doubled. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. (Mine took exactly 20 minutes.) Let cool and cut off the top, remove some of the bread from the inside and fill with soup or dip.
