Nothing reminds me more of Halloween then warm Broccoli and Cheese soup with bread bowls.  There is this cute bakery that we would always get pumpkin bread bowls for Halloween.  Their bread bowls are absolutely amazing.  Since we moved and no longer can get those bread bowls I have been on the hunt for some that are just as good and not to mention “homemade”.  Well I hit the spot with these!  Not only do they look great but they taste just as good.  A lightly hard outside that is nice and golden brown followed by an extremely soft middle.  Try them for Halloween you will be glad that you did:)  You can fill them with this Broccoli and Cheese Soup (served in those cute pumpkin bread bowls)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups + 4 Tablespoons warm water
• 2 packages of active dry yeast (5 1/2 teaspoons)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

Using a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, add warm water and sprinkle in yeast.  Let dissolve for a few minutes until yeast becomes foamy.  Add melted butter, sugar and salt and mix until combined.  Gradually add flour.  Once combined, allow your mixer to knead the dough for about 5 minutes (you could do this by hand if you weren’t using a mixer, but it may get a little tiring!).  Punch dough down and form into 6 equal sized balls.  Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise until doubled.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.  Let cool and cut off the top, remove some of the bread from the inside and fill with soup or dip.Recipe from Six Sisters Stuff
