Instructions
 

  • Take a bowl and add Yeast, ½ cup Water, and ½ tablespoon of Sugar and mix. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes until it is foamy and has expanded.
  • In a stand mixer add flour, salt, and yeast mixture and use the dough attachment to start the mixer using the medium setting. Once mixed, add water little at a time till everything is combined and the dough is no longer sticky. (You may not need all the water, add little quantity at a time till everything is combined well)
  • Keep on kneading for 10-12 minutes until the dough is smooth and is not sticky, and starts forming like a dough.
  • INSTANT POT: Add oil in the inner pot of the Instant Pot and transfer dough in it. Put a glass lid or plate to cover the pot. Start the yogurt setting and set the timer for 30 minutes till 1 hour, and after every 15 minutes poke the dough with your fist.
    STOVE-TOP: Place the dough in a bowl and cover with a place. Store it in the warm place for 1-2 hours until it gets doubled in size.
  • After 30 minutes, when times beeps take the dough out and knead it one more time.
  • Divide dough into 6 equal parts and roll them into a ball. Add oil in the oven-safe tray and dust with flour. Now assemble the prepared dough balls on the oven-safe tray.
  • Cover the prepared dough balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for 20-30 minutes. Preheat oven at 400°F and brush some milk on the prepared balls using pastry brush.
  • Keep a bowl full of water at the bottom rack in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees.
  • Once the bread is ready and cooled, gently carve it from the top to create a hollow space within it. Don't carve too much or the bread will break. Serve with a soup of your choice and enjoy!

Notes

Yeast: Before making the bread, always check yeast expiry. If it is old then yeast won't expand and bread won't turn out the way it should.
Add water as needed, add little by little until everything is combined and is not sticky. If required, you can add more flour too. You can adjust water & flour quantity as per needed.
Instant Pot: Before adding dough to Instant Pot, spread oil all around the inner pot - otherwise the dough will stick.
I have made 6 balls using 3 cups of flour, you can adjust the ingredients as per need. After making balls from dough, cover with damp cloth and keep at warm place till oven get preheated.
Milk: Before putting prepared dough balls in the oven, I add milk. Adding milk helps in giving nice color to Bread Bowl.
After putting in the oven, I also spread water on the top of balls using pastry brush. This is to make sure the bread does not get too dry or it will break. The water also makes it soft throughout. If you want more dark color of bread, you can also broil for 2 minutes.
Serve by adding soup/chili in Bread Bowl.
