I am doing the Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe this month and would like to do them in mini bread bowls in the Stoneware Mini Fluted Pan. Does anyone have any experience making these?

I was thinking of using the Pillsbury Krusty French Bread and wrapping the bottom of the flutes on the underside of the pan but I am not sure if the soup will leak through them. Any advice???

There is a recipe in the Stoneware Inspirations cookbook called Chili Bread Bowls...here's the recipe for the bread bowls

Bread Bowls
2 pkg (13.8oz) refrigerated pizza crust (you could probably use the french bread in place of the pizza crust)
1 TBSP olive oil
1/2 Cup (2 oz) grated fresh parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400. Remove pizza crust from package, do not unroll. Cut each portion of dough crosswise into thirds to form 6 equal portions. Place dough , cut side down on Large Round Stone; press lightly to form 4 inch rounds. brush lightly with oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake 21-23 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove from oven to stackable cooling rack.

To serve, slice off top of each bread round; carefully remove centers to form bowls. Place bread bowls into serving bowls, ladle soup into bowls.
 
How about placing dough on inverted prep bowls?
 
My favorite way to make bread bowls is to get the brown and serve loaf sourdough bread in the bread isle at the supermarket (they are round loaves, 2 to a bag) and make them that way. Cut the top, scoop out the middle (once cooked of course) and you're good to go.
 
Hi there! I have made the Chicken Tortilla Soup in mini bread bowls using the Stoneware Mini Fluted Pan before and it turned out great! I used the Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers Biscuits instead of the Krusty French Bread and they worked perfectly. Just make sure to press them into the flutes firmly to create a tight seal. As for the soup leaking through, I haven't had any issues with that. Just be sure to not overfill the bread bowls and you should be good to go. Happy cooking!
