Bread Bowl

Bread Bowl

This bread bowl ticks off another item on my bucket list or should I say bread list. I have been meaning to make a bread bowl but somehow never got to it. Like we know, Bake-a-thon is made just to correct such situations. The best part of it was I got the daughter to have soup very easily because she was excited to eat from an edible bowl. That is surely another item on the bucket list – get the daughter to eat happily by herself. So yay!

Why I like this bread?

It is an easy bread to bake and makes for a wonderful addition to impress guests at a dinner. Like I said before, it makes it so easy to get kids to have their soup or anything else you want to put in it. You can also just have this like regular bread buns with any dish of your choice.
