@JennyHatch Homemaking Tutorials: Vegan Chile w/ Cornmeal Bread Bowls

Posted by Jenny Marie Hatch on July 19, 2019 · 2 Comments 

Paul made a pot of Vegan Chile last week and we ate half of it and froze the rest. I defrosted it this afternoon and whipped up some cornmeal bread bowls in my bosch mixer.

Video Tutorial is below. There are about ten million vegan chile recipes on You Tube, so go find the one that looks good.

The bread bowls contain about a cup of mixed grains.

Popcorn

White Pastry Wheat

Oat Groats

Kamut

Red Wheat

Quinoa

And

Golden Flax

I ground all of these up and came up with about 1 1/2 cups of flour.

In the mixer put one and 1/2 cups of warm water with a tablespoon of honey and a teaspoon of yeast.

Add the grains and flaxseeds to the mixer with one teaspoon of salt and 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Gradually add in 3 to 4 cups of white flour.

Mix for eight minutes.

Let rise for 1/2 hour

Shape into eight bowls.

Let rise for another 30 minutes (I skipped this step tonight and just threw them in the oven. The bowls were denser, but they still tasted yummy)

Bake 22 minutes at 350 degrees

Scoop out the middle and add chile and whatever toppings you enjoy!

Tip! Don’t make the breadbowls too big. Whole grain food is extremely filling, and a small breadbowl is usually big enough to feed a child. Paul and Andy both ate two last night. Which is why I generally make them small and have a few extras for bigger appetites.

When I first made whole grain bread bowls they were really big and we had friends over for supper that night. We had so much wasted food because everyone filled one up with a hearty vegetable soup I made, but not one person at the table was able to finish it.

Less is more with whole grain cooking.
