Bread Bowls

These are SOOO delicious and easy! They are wonderful on chilly evenings with hot soup.

2 pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
1 c. warm milk
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
6-6 1/2 c. flour
cornmeal


In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, shortening, sugar, eggs, salt and 2 c. flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 min. Cover and let rise until doubled. Punch dough down. Turn onto lightly floured surface and roll out like a pizza and cut into 8 pieces. Form each piece into a ball. Grease 2 baking sheets and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place 4 balls 3 in. apart on pans. Cover and let rise until doubled. Bake 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Hollow out middles and serve with soup.
