Recipe

1. Cut loaf of bread dough in half horizontally. Roll each half into a 36-inch rope. Brush well with beaten egg. Tie an overhand knot in one end holding end up as a pumpkin stem. Leave the circle open. With long end of rope, continue winding in and out of circle (about 4 times) finishing up with the end tucked underneath. This will form a pumpkin shape. Cup hands around finished pumpkin sides and plump it up tall. Keep stem above the pumpkin. Brush again with egg and place on a sprayed baking sheet. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and allow to double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350° F for 25-30 minutes. Cool, slice off top and hollow out bowls. Fill with your favorite stew. Makes 2 pumpkin stew bowls.
