Double Bread Bowl (2024)

FAQs

What bread does Panera use for bread bowls? ›

Crafted from the same artisan Sourdough bread used in the classic Bread Bowl, the Double Bread Bowl features a crunchy crust and chewy center that pairs perfectly with all Panera soups, from sweet Creamy Tomato to the cheesy goodness of Broccoli Cheddar.

Bread bowls are casual foods, so don't be afraid to use your fingers to eat the bread once you've finished most of the soup. Unfortunately, bread bowls don't keep well once you've filled them with soup, so eat as much of the bread as you want!

Bread bowls can be used to serve chili, New England–style clam chowder, and other thick stews (often, but not always, with a cheese or cream base). Soups with thinner bases are not generally served in bread bowls, as the broth would make the bread get too soggy too quickly.

So Panera bakes all their bread on site. Things are changing with time but they still have bakers on site. All the dough is shipped nightly to the store from a fresh dough facility in the area.

Panera employs over 6,000 bakers who make more than 250 million bagels and 50 million baguettes each year. Every night, fresh dough is delivered to all Panera locations from Fresh Dough Facilities across the country. So their bread is about as fresh as it gets.

To avoid this sad fate, toasting your bread bowl is an easy preventative measure.

The creation of bread into a bowl yields an important question: What to do with the insides? I love the insides of bread and tend to just snack on them or save them to dip in my soup, but the insides can also be saved to make croutons or bread crumbs to be used in meatloaf or meatballs or just on top of a salad.
