Dill pain de campagne (boullabaisse bowl)

Method

5. Using a knife, mark out a square shape on top of the dough. Place the dough ball on the baking sheet and decorate with leaves made from any extra dough. Set aside to rise for another hour.

6. Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown; transfer to a wire rack.

7. Once cool, cut the top of the loaf off to make a lid and then scoop out the majority of the dough to make a bowl shape.

8. Brush the inside of the bread bowl with melted butter and bake for 10 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before filling with your bowl with bouillibaisse or any other soup.
