Bread Bowls


1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon yeast (or 1 packet)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten

Dissolve sugar in warm water. Add yeast and stir to dissolve. Let rest until creamy - about 10 minutes. Measure dry ingredients into kitchenaid mixer bowl. Add creamy yeast mixture and set on 2. Once all the dough comes together, allow to continue mixing (kneading) for about 5 minutes. You can add up to 1/2 cup more flour if needed. Form dough into a large circle. Cut into 6 wedges and form each wedge into a ball. Place on greased baking sheet. Let rise 30 minutes (I do this in my dryer). Bake at 425*F for 20-25 minutes. You can use a basic egg wash or spritz the bread bowls with water several times during the baking process for a crispier crust.
