Ingredients

• 1 and 1/4 cup water
• 2 and 1/4 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 Tablespoons good olive oil
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

• Set oven temp to warm (or the lowest temperature it will go) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a glass measuring cup, add 1 and 1/4 cups water, sugar and olive oil. Heat in the microwave until 120 to 130 degrees F. Stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour, salt, and yeast. Whisk to combine. Attach the dough hook and run on medium low speed. Slowly pour in the hot water mixture. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Knead on medium for about 8 minutes, adding a tablespoon of flour after 5 minutes if the dough is sticking to the sides and not coming together around the dough hook. (This step can be done up to three times, in one minute intervals.) Empty the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Turn the oven off. Separate the dough into three equal portions, shaping each into a round ball. Place each on prepared baking sheet. Cut an X pattern in the top with a sharp knife about 1/4 inch at the deepest.
• Place in the warm oven on center rack to rise for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size. (I like to pull out a long piece of plastic wrap, spray with cooking spray, and gently place it over the bread, sprayed side down.)
• Whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon of water. Gently slide out the baking rack with the bread bowls on it. Slowly remove the plastic wrap. (Dont remove the baking sheet from the oven, the dough will likely deflate.) With a pastry brush, very gently coat each bread bowl with egg white wash. Gently push the oven rack back into the oven. Set the oven to heat to 400 degrees F. Bake the bread bowls for 15 minutes and brush again with egg wash. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and reaches an internal temp of 190 degrees F.
