Turning Your Pizza Dough into Bowls!

If you’re already buying wholesale pizza dough for your pizza and appetizers, why not use it to make your own bowls? It’s easy to do and once you figure it out, you can use them for just about anything!

This is so incredibly easy, you won’t believe that you haven’t thought of it before! Make sure your pizza dough is completely defrosted then just roll it out so that it’s almost (but not quite) twice as thick as you would roll it if you were making pizza. Then, turn an aluminum or other oven-proof bowl upside down and spray the underside with non-stick cooking spray. Place the dough over top, making sure to shape and form it to the bowl. You may want to also proof it for about 15 minutes before baking

Place the bowl, and the dough, onto a baking sheet and place into an oven that’s been preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Don’t use egg wash or any kind of oil on the dough; you want it to be as crispy and crusty as possible. Bake the dough for about 12 – 15 minutes, until it sounds hollow when knocked.

Remove baking sheet from oven, allow bread bowl to rest for 2-3 minutes upside down, and then remove from aluminum bowl. Allow to rest for another 2 minutes more once turned upside down.

Once your bowl is baked, fill it up with anything you think your customers will love! Chili, salad, dips, sauces, and soups are just a few suggestions. Once you have the bowl, your own imagination is really your only limitation!
