Cut the top neatly off each round bread with a serrated knife. Scoop out the center of the bread carefully with a paring knife or spoon.

4
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet and add the minced garlic. Saute the garlic until it's tender.

5
Brush the garlic butter on the inside of the bread bowls with a pastry brush. This will add delicious flavor and will help to seal the inside of the bowl.
-
6
Place the bread bowls in a 350-degree oven for a few minutes until the bread is hot and slightly crispy.
-
7
Ladle the hot stew into the hot bread bowls. If the stew seems too thin, drain off a bit of liquid or thicken it with a bit of cornstarch mixed in water. If the stew is too thin, it will seep into the bread too quickly.
