Instructions

How to Make a Boule Bowl

1. Pick out a Boule bread that is the right size for your event. Check the

   bakery section of your local food store if you can not find them in the

   regular bread isle. They usually come in mini-two pack Boules, great

   for individual dip bowls, a regular Boule size round loaf and an over-

   sized party bowl large Boule size. The goal is to cut a top out and

   pull out bite-sized pieces of bread to set on reserve to use as

   dippers. Fill the Boule with cold dips or hot chili dip or soup.

2. How to get the bread hallowed out? Cut a circle out of the top of the

   round sourdough loaf. Think of the process of making a Jack-o-lantern

   where you cut a lid and scoop out the insides leaving a hard outer

   shell. This is what you will do to the loaf. Sourdough is a good choice

   because the outer crust is hard enough to withstand the dip that will

   go inside.

3. In a medium -sized mixing bowl combine your dip ingredients. Theses can

   be onion dip, guacamole, a cream cheese mixture or hot chili. The

   choices are as endless as there are kids of dip. Spoon in the mixture

   once ready and replace the top lid of bread that you cut away earlier.

4. Serve with the reserved bread pieces you pulled out earlier or with

   another chip or fresh veggies of your choice. Carrot sticks and celery

   are delicious with cold dips and bread pieces are yummy with hot chili

   or soup. The choices are up to you depending on the weather and what

   type of event. Remember transporting the dip from your kitchen to its

   final destination. Hot chili dip might not be the smartest choice for a

   long haul. This is one easy party bowl to make and great to enjoy

   delicious party dip ideas!
