Sourdough Bread Bowls

This weekend, I had the privilege to send Flourboy off to the wilderness on a hunting expedition.  Part of the send-off included a batch of Sourdough bread bowls to accompany the stew that he put together for the hunting party.  I'm not going to lie, this is definitely the best batch of sourdough that I've made yet.

I attribute this greatness to two changes.  First of all, I added extra gluten to both the firm and the dough.  Second of all, after shaping the boules, I let them rise in bowls rather than directly on a cooking sheet.  Both of these changes contributed to keeping the boules round (as opposed to flat-ish puddles in the middle of the pan.)

I am told that the hunting party found them satisfactory.
