Polish Bread Bowl Recipe (That You Can Serve Soup or Goulash In!)

rye bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread offers more fiber and nutrients.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Combine 1 cup of warm water, 3 tablespoons of instant yeast, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl.

Add 5 cups of all-purpose flour and knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Transfer the dough to a large bowl and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Divide the dough into two parts and form two balls for the bread bowls, taking small pieces for holders.

Preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C).

Let the dough rise again for 15-20 minutes while the oven preheats.

Bake the bread bowls for about 25-30 minutes until the skin is brown.

Once cooled, cut the tops off the bread and hollow out the insides using a spoon.

Brush the inside of the bowls with egg white to prevent leaking when filled with soup or goulash.

Bake the hollowed bowls for an additional 20 minutes.
