2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 tablespoon salt

4 -5 cups flour
cornmeal (optional)

Directions

1

Using a Bosch or Kitchen Aid mixer, put yeast, sugar, salt, hot water, and olive oil in the mixer.
2

Gradually add the flour until the dough has sufficiently scraped everything off the sides of the mixing bowl. Continue to mix on low for 8-10 minutes.
3

Remove and cover with plastic wrap - let the dough rise until doubles in size (about 30 minutes).
4

Grease 2 cookie sheets and sprinkle with corn meal.
5

Punch down the dough and make tennis ball-size dough balls (about 8-12, depending on how large you want your bread bowls).
6

Place on cookie sheet with no more than 6 to a cookie sheet (don't let them touch). Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
7

Bake each cookie sheet at 400 for 18 minutes.
