I *heart* bread. a lot. like a lot, a lot. I love nothing more than to make a huge batch of Aunt C-Dogg's Chicken and Wild Rice soup and then put the soup in a bread bowl. Heavenly on a cold fall/winter day. This is my favorite recipe for bread bowls, it's easy, seriously. Bake 'em and you can thank me later. And if anyone can give me Aunt C-Dogg's White Chicken Chili recipe I will love you forever.

2 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
6 cups all-purpose flour
Cornmeal
DIRECTIONS
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
Add the milk, shortening, sugar, eggs, salt and 2 cups flour.
Beat until smooth.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl (meaning buttered, yummy) , turning once to grease top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down.
Punch dough down.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide into eight pieces; shape each into a ball.
Grease two baking sheets and sprinkle with cornmeal.
Place four balls 3 in. apart on each prepared pan.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
My notes: you can cut a whole in the top and remove inside bread and place bowl back in oven for 5-7 mins to "firm" up the inside of the bowl so the inside doesn't get too soggy. Or you can eat it soggy. I like that too.

YUM!!!! I can't wait to make these tomorrow! I spent lunchtime today explaining to Mary why our Cheese and Broccoli soup was so much better in a bread bowl, and what a bread bowl was:) She's going to be happy tomorrow!
Heather... done. I'll get Hill to email you the recipe right away. We actually made the white chili so much when I was home, we actually became tired of it! But right now, white chili in a bread bowl? Heavenly.
uh-hum, credit where credit is due sister...c-dogg got the chicken and wild rice recipe from yours truly, well I got it from a friend, but, just wanted to correct you. ha ha
anyway, I will have to try these bread bowls, they look great, let me know if you don't get the white bean chili, I can email it to you as well.
