So easy and so good! I used my bread machine to make the dough (45 minute quick dough cycle) then divided the dough into 4 pieces and shaped into 4 round balls. Let them rise for one hour on greased foil lined cookie sheet, then baked as stated. It made 4 awesome bread bowls for our clam chowder! Just cut a little off each bowl top when they are done..then press dough inside the bowl to inside of bowl and add chowder. Yum! Great recipe! Thanks! -
This bread was far too salty. I would recommend either a plain water glaze or an egg white glaze. I also didn't care for the texture. It is great for dipping in soup, but as a stand-alone bread, I would not recommend it. -
The dough turned out perfectly in the bread machine and it was easy to shape. I made two smaller loaves, and the crust was slightly crunchy and the inside was tender and chewy. I will definitely make this again and again. -
This is great! It was so easy to just let the bread machine do the work. Good flavor & fresh from the oven is always a hit.
