Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c warm water (110 - 115 degrees)
3 c flour (bread flour or ap flour)
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar
1 pkg active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 Tbsp chili powder

Steps:

Let rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or golden brown. Let cool slightly before cutting the tops out with a bread knife or scoup part of the inside out.
  • 2. For other seasonings, replace chili powder with other spices. Depending on what you are substituting, I would go shy rather than overboard with the spice. I have used italian seasonings 1 tsp each of oregano and basil and it has not been too strong. For plain bread bowls, do not use seasoning.

Tips:

  • Use a sturdy bread bowl that can hold the chili without getting soggy.
  • Hollow out the bread bowl, leaving a 1-inch thick shell.
  • Brush the inside of the bread bowl with melted butter or olive oil to prevent the chili from sticking.
  • Fill the bread bowl with your favorite chili recipe.
  • Top the chili with cheese, sour cream, and other desired toppings.
  • Bake the bread bowl in a preheated oven until the chili is bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
  • Let the bread bowl cool for a few minutes before serving.
