Crusty Bread Bowls
Makes 6 bread bowls

1 c water
2 3/4 c bread flour
1 tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp bread machine or quick active dry yeast
1 egg yolk
1 tbs water

Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.  Select Dough/Manual cycle. Do not use delay cycle.  Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Cover and let rest 10 minutes on lightly floured surface.  Grease outsides of six 10-ounce custard cups. Place cups upside down on ungreased cookie sheet. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll or pat each piece into 7-inch circle on lightly floured surface. Shape dough circles over outsides of cups. Cover and let rise in warm place 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly puffy.  Heat oven to 375º. Mix egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water; brush gently over bread bowls. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully lift bread bowls from custard cups--bread and cups will be hot. Cool bread bowls upright on wire rack.
