SOUP BREAD BOWLS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and line a medium cooking sheet with parchment paper. In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. When melted, add onions and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Remove thyme and add wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until wine is mostly evaporated. Add in flour and garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add in broth and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until thickened slightly, 5 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper if desired. Meanwhile, prep the rolls: cut the top 1/4 off each roll. Using a paring knife, hollow out each and lay a slice of swiss over each to cover the hole, pressing in slightly. Place rolls on prepared baking sheet and toast until cheese is melted, 6-8 minutes. When cheese is melted and soup is ready, ladle soup into each roll. Top with a handful of gruyere and place back in the oven to melt. If desired, broil. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Heat water to 115°F. Dissolve yeast and sugar in water, allow to proof for 5-10 minutes.
• Add flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer, with dough hook attachment. With mixer running on low, add in yeast mixture. Increase speed to medium. Slowly drizzle in olive oil. Continue mixing until dough comes together. Add additional flour or olive oil as needed. Transfer dough to a large greased bowl. Cover and allow to rise for one hour, or until doubled in size.
• Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Shape each section into a smooth ball, place on prepared baking sheet. Loosely cover with a clean towel. Allow to rise for 30 additional minutes in a warm location.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Combine egg white and water. Carefully create 1-2 slices in the top of each roll, roughly 1/4-inch deep. Brush with egg wash mixture. Bake on the middle rack for 15 minutes. Brush rolls again with egg wash mixture. Continue baking for 10 additional minutes.
• Cool to room temperature, then using a sharp knife, carefully remove he center of the rolls to create a bowl. Remove additional bread from the inside by hand, as needed.
• Fill and enjoy!
