Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 loaves medium-sized round loaves of bread (sourdough or artisan)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.25 cup honey
  • 2.0 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1.0 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1.0 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1.0 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1.0 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 0.0 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
  • 0.0 cup optional cheese or filling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Using a sharp bread knife, carefully cut the top off each loaf to create a lid, and scoop out the insides of the loaves to create bowls. Leave about 0.5 inches of bread on the sides and bottom for stability.
  • In a bowl, mix softened butter, honey, chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, sea salt, and cracked black pepper until well combined.
  • Generously spread the honey herb butter mixture inside each bread bowl and on the outer surface using a pastry brush. Ensure every part is covered for maximum flavor.
  • Lightly brush the outside of each bread bowl with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
  • Place the bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 17.5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • If desired, you can fill the baked bowls with your choice of melted cheese, savory soup, or a fresh salad before serving.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Place the tops on the bowls beside them for presentation and serve warm. Enjoy dipping or filling them with your favorites!
