Bread Bowls Recipe

Cut loaf into three equal portions; form each into a ball. Place 4 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2-3 hours. Brush with egg. Bake at 350 ° for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Cut the top fourth off each loaf; carefully hollow out top and bottom, leaving 1/2-in. shell. (Discard bread from inside or save to make croutons or bread crumbs.) Fill with soup, dip or salsa. Replace top if desired.
