Abstract: Systems and methods for baking bread bowls are described. A bread bowl baker includes a concavo-convex body including a wide diameter circumference and a narrow diameter circumference; a first end coextensively joined to the wide diameter circumference, the first end i) having an axially outermost extent that defines a first end plane and ii) including a nonplanar cylindrical flange that doubles back from the axially outermost extent to form a raised edge, the raised edge defining a raised edge plane that is noncoplanar with the first end plane; and a second end coextensively joined to the narrow diameter circumference, the second end defining a second end plane. The systems and methods provide advantages in that resulting bread bowls are of uniform shape and are uniformly baked.
