Easy Bread Bowls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 loaf frozen bread dough (thawed)
1 tablespoon olive oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Preparation

Thaw the bread, but don't let it start to rise.
Lightly grease the outside of six 10-ounce custard cups with shortening (do NOT use cooking spray); place cups upside down on cookie sheet.
Divide dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball; pat into rounds.
Place rounds over the custard cups and brush dough with oil.
Sprinkle with basil and garlic salt.
Cover and let rise in warm place for about 20 minutes.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 16-20 minutes or till golden brown.
Cool 5 minutes and remove from cups and place on a rack (inside of the bowl may be slightly moist).
To serve, place warm or cool bowls in shallow soup or pasta bowls and spoon your soup (or whatever you made) into them.
