Let’s Make This Homemade Bread Bowl Recipe!

“Homemade” Bread Bowls are simple and fun to make.  I started with frozen bread dough and used a Quick Thaw Method to really get these off to a fast start.  Here is how:

 Quick Thaw Method

There are two basic ways to quickly thaw frozen bread dough.  

• The first method is to wrap the frozen bread dough in parchment paper and place in a loaf pan.  Set the frozen dough in a 325 degree oven for about 12 minutes and it should be thawed.

Quick Thaw Microwave Method:

• The second method is even faster!  Spray a glass bowl with non stick cooking spray.  Lay the frozen bread dough in the bowl and spray the dough.  Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 15 seconds on high.  Uncover the dough and flip it over.  Re-cover and repeat until the bread is thawed.  Easy, huh?
