Can you describe to me what a “medium-consistency” dough should look/feel like?

Thank you!

Ok, maybe it’s just me..but how does this woman figure she saved herself time??? As she stated, she still ended up washing dishes after dinner, and she spent 9 hours baking these bread bowls. Although I’m sure the bowls were delicious, for me it would have been a no-brainer. Put the effort into cooking a REAL Thanksgiving dinner..would amount to about the same amount of time as making the bowls anyhow, and wash up afterwards. Maybe I’m being a bit pessimistic, but Thanksgiving to me is a Tradition, and not just chili served in a bowl, no matter how fancy it is done up.

This is the third bread I have baked with my first sourdough starter, and it beats the rest by far. My mom allways likes her diner ‘packed’, so I had a good guess she would love this. But they were even better than that. Both taste and structure turned out very, very good! I filled them with a tomato-butternut stew with grilled sardines. The bowls could handle the wet filling without difficulties. And because I don’t have a good knife for slashing, I gave each bowl 5 cuts with a scissor, in a circular pattern. Luckily this also worked fine for the cutting later, and gave the caps a very festive look.

I have learned so much from your site. Thank you for all the information, and this wonderful recipe!

Those bowls look fabulous, Susan. And so does the chili (love that idea to have chili for Christmas Eve dinner)!

Did you use the bread that you removed for stuffing the turkey the next day?

Even though it seems that Mimi beat me to it I’ve given you an award. (some blog posts take longer to write than you’ve intended to.. ) Maybe you want to come around and collect the award.

Fabulous! I was just thinking that I wanted to make bread bowls but wasn’t sure about sizing, etc, and I never would have thought to do the circular slash.
