bread bowls - how to cut?

schmamy · 03-01-2009, 07:29 PM

DH and I are in love with Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day (aka the "bread revolution") and we're thinking this recipe would make fabulous bread bowls a la Panera

What we don't know is how to cut out a cylinder of bread from the middle like they do at Panera, to make room for the soup. DH jokingly suggested his hole saw attachment for his cordless drill

Anyone done this and know of any tools or tips?

I think I just used a knife and cut a round and then tore out pieces to make the bowl

Former Panera Employee here.

We used a hand held tool that looks sort of like a doorknob drill bit :-D

But really all you need to do is pretend the bread is a pumpkin. Cut it like you would cut out a stem and the clean out the middle make sure you leave at least a 1/4 inch around to prevent leakage.
