  • Publication number: 20060068065
    Abstract: A bread bowl or boule comprises a spherical edible shell. The volume of the shell provides a space, volume, or container of at least one individual serving size portion of a food material. The bowl typically comprises a spherical shell with an opening resulting from a section removed. The bowl can be manufactured by forming a bakable shell surrounding a fugitive space filling composition. Upon baking, the heat of baking results in a change of state such that the fugitive space filling material exits the interior of the bowl leaving a volume suitable for a single serving portion. The structure adapted for baking comprises an exterior dough shell and an interior fugitive section. Extruding the dough with a fugitive composition in the interior and sealing the extruded ends into a substantially rounded or spherical structure can make the production unit. In preparation, the unbaked bowl is baked leaving a spherical hollow structure.
