Easy Bread Bowls image

These are easy and quick. They only take about one hour after the dough is thawed. Then fill them with your favorite thick soup, chowder, chili, or stew. It will be fun to tear away the bread as you eat your soup and the two go great together. They will be good on a cool night. The time below does not include the thawing of the bread. One hint: To make the handling of the bread easier, make sure the bread has completely thawed but has not started to rise. You may also need to reshape the rounds after a few minutes on the cups by gently pushing the dough down and shaping as needed.
