Homemade Bread Bowl Recipe
Everyone loves a good bread bowl! Especially when the weather is colder and you crave a hearty soup. A bread bowl provides a fun way to have soup with bread. Just rip off pieces of the bread bowl and dip it into your comforting bowl of soup. Kids will love this meal because they get to eat with their hands!
A bowl of soup in a bread bowl is a simple keto recipe to serve at lunch or dinner. The bread bowls will take around 20 minutes to prepare. If you use a ready-to-heat soup, like those from my friends at Power Provisions, you can have a bread bowl filled with hot, comforting soup in less than 30 minutes!

Step by Step Instructions
Step by Step Instructions
Melt cheeses
Add shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to a small glass bowl. Microwave at 1 minute intervals until the cheese is melted and cream cheese has softened. If you don’t want to use a microwave, melt the shredded cheese over the stovetop using a non-stick skillet and use softened cream cheese.
Make dough
Add all ingredients, including melted cheese to a food processor. Pulse until combined. You can also combine the ingredients using an electric mixer, but the food processor works better.
Form balls
Wet your hands with water or oil so the dough doesn’t stick. Form four even sized dough balls and place, evenly apart, on a parchment lined baking tray.
Bake them
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until hardened on the outside and slightly firm on the inside. Let cool for 3-5 minutes before eating.
Scoop out
Cut off the top of the bread bowl and carve out some of the bread inside to make room for the soup.

Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?
Almond flour is the best option for this recipe, but if you need a substitute, try sunflower seed flour or a blend of other nut-free flours. The texture and flavor will be a little different.
What can I use instead of cream cheese?
For a dairy-free option, use vegan cream cheese or coconut cream. Make sure the consistency is similar so the dough holds together.
How should I store leftover keto bread bowls?
Store leftover bread bowls in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
Can I freeze the keto bread bowls?
Yes! Let them cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and put them in a freezer-safe bag. They'll keep for up to a month.
Are there any low-carb alternatives for buttermilk?
Plain yogurt, unsweetened almond milk with a splash of vinegar, or a mix of water and sour cream all work as buttermilk substitutes.
I haven't use coconut flour in place of almond flour in this keto bread recipe, so I'm not sure how well it works. Generally 3-4 tablespoons of coconut flour is equivalent to 1 cup of almond flour. So you could try that conversion. Let me know how it works if you do try it.
Can I use coconut milk!
I haven't tried that substitution. I would think it would work though.
Tried this last night with my copy cat Panera cheddar broccoli recipe. Delicious
What would be the amount of each? ( using hwc and acv
Use 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream mixed with 1/4 teaspoon acv
For buttermilk sub can I use hwc with apple cider vinegar added to make it sour
Yes! That works too.
