Bread Soup Bowl









Ingredients:

2 teaspoons of rapid rise yeast
1-1/4 cup of water (110 F)
1 tablespoon of oil
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of garlic salt
1 teaspoon of minced parsley
3 to 3-1/2 cups of all purpose flour & extra for dusting

Method:

Mix 3 cups of all purpose flour along with garlic salt and parsley and set aside.

Heat water till it reaches a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit and add yeast and sugar and let it proof.
This should take approximately 10 minutes depending on the type of yeast.

Once it becomes foamy, add it to the flour along with a tablespoon of oil and knead into a soft dough.  Use the remaining half cup of all purpose flour if it becomes too sticky.  Once the dough comes together, place it in a greased bowl and set aside in a warm spot to double.

If you are using active dry yeast, this may take up to an hour or more.  With rapid rise yeast, it should be around 30 minutes.

Generously flour your work surface and punch down the dough and divide them into 4 equal portions.  You can re-size them according to your preference.  This recipe yields 4 medium sized and 6 small portions.

Roll them and shape them like dinner rolls (pav).

Place them on a greased baking tray and let them rise for another 30 minutes if using rapid rise yeast, otherwise up to an hour.

Once the dough has doubled in size, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit or 135 degrees Celsius and bake them for about 25-30 minutes.




Now the baking time depends entirely on the type of oven you have.  It would be best to monitor it after the first 15 minutes.  It is done when it has turned golden brown.

To give it a glossy effect, you can either milk wash them or egg wash them.

Once the baked rolls are out of the oven and cooled enough to handle, cut the top center and scoop out a little portion.  Pour your favorite soup and serve.
