Cooking and baking are two things I love a lot.
While I am not always successful with every food I attempt I don’t let that dissuade my passion.
I cook, bake and try new recipes daily, and I take traditional, recipes that were handed down to me and I update them.
Beer bread bowls were born out of a mixture of a love for baking bread and my grandmother’s love of making bread!
Baking is what my Grandma Stella does so well.
In our family, she is the unsurpassed hero of bread baking!
Have you ever made a bread bowl?
Really they are so easy to create!
Today, I am about to share a recipe that I know anyone can make.

With uncomplicated ingredients and simple-to-follow instructions, you will be baking beer bread bowls as though you are a pro!
Don’t worry, a bread maker machine will do the brunt of the work, you will be doing light duty!

Bread bowls are fantastic year-round food and there is nothing like creating your own recipes for bread bowls from scratch.
It takes a little ingenuity, a few ingredients, and an awesome bread machine to crank out the Beer Bread Bowls.
I was afraid at the beginning that the dough was going to battle me but that was NEVER an issue.
Make sure you open your beer up a day ahead and let it go flat (no sipping, lol!)
Also, if you can not do that, you can throw salt into the beer to get that foam off of it, however… I caution you that placing salt in the beer and then the beer in the recipe could jilt the end result.
Too much salt when baking is not good it can completely ruin your bread.

Notes
What Bread Machine?
I am all about my bread machine and the one I have is a Rosewill.
This Bread Machine is my helper making bread of all kinds possible.
Check out all the features it offers.
It has programmable loaf sizes from 1.5 pounds to 2 pounds and there is even a built-in fruit and nut dispenser.
There are 12 programs available: Basic, French, Whole Wheat, Quick, Sweet, Gluten-free, Rapid Bake Setting (under an hour) Dough, Jam, Cake, Sandwich, Bake; 3 crust settings.
The kneading blade rocks and it is very quiet to operate.
Fill The Beer Bread Bowels
I used two of the Casa Vento famous recipes to fill up the bread bowls and you can see them here, and just touch the photos to get to the recipes.
Lobster Dip
And if you are not a seafood fan, here is my Cheddar Cheese Soup recipe, made in my Pressure Cooker, so you know it is fast and easy.
The bowls are awesome, filling, and easy to create.
Rest assured the work level in creation is minimal, and the return on investment is HUGE.
The smiles on everyone’s faces make me happy.
Lavishly live food out loud and dig into those great bread bowls and don’t forget to print the recipe.
