DOMINO'S BREAD BOWL image

Yield 8 1/2 bowl

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 teaspoons sugar
1 3/4 cups warm water[3]
1 teaspoon yeast
4/1/2 cups enriched flour
2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten[4]
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons soybean oil[4][5]
Additional flour, for sprinkling[6]
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

In a large Pyrex measuring cup, measure 1 ¾ cups of warm water. Add the yeast and sugar to the warm water, stir and set aside. In a large bowl, mix the enriched flour, vital wheat gluten, and salt. Once the yeast mixture has begun to foam (bloom), pour it into the flour mixture. Add the soybean oil to the mixture. Combine the flour, oil, and yeast mixture by kneading it with your hands or using a dough hook in a standing electric mixer until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic; chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. (Chilled dough is easier to shape than dough that is room temperature.) Preheat the oven to 450 F. Sprinkle a bit of flour over the dough to prevent it from sticking to the work surface.[6] Place the dough on your work surface and cut it into 4 pieces. Gently shape each piece of dough into a ball by stretching the edges of the dough and tucking them under to make a bread bowl. Make a ¼ inch deep cut along the top of each ball and put it onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush the top and sides of the dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the bread bowls for approximately 40-45 minutes. You will know the bread is done when the crust is light brown and the center is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow the bread bowls to rest on a cooling rack.
