Health Benefits

Ingredients

  • - 4 large round sourdough bread loaves (1 pound each)
  • - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • - 1 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • - 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • - Kosher salt (Morton's)
  • - Fresh cracked black pepper
  • - Kitchen twine
  • - Pastry brush

Instructions

  1. 11. Select dense, round sourdough loaves with thick walls. Look for uniform shape and sturdy crust.
  2. 22. Carefully slice off bread tops at 45-degree angle, creating a clean restaurant-style cap.
  3. 33. Hollow out bread centers using sharp paring knife, leaving 1/2-inch bread wall. Reserve bread chunks for croutons.
  4. 44. Brush interior and exterior with olive oil using pastry brush. Sprinkle interior with pinch of kosher salt.
  5. 55. Place bread bowls on parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast in 375°F oven until edges crisp and interior feels dry, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. 66. Remove from oven. Allow to cool and rest for 15 minutes before filling with soup or chowder.
