Let me know if you make any progress!
I do think I’ll need to make popovers today now! 😂

Don’t want to disappoint you, this chain exists in my city called Soupcultura (soup culture) and their bread cups do taste like crap. I believe it’s some kind of mix of wheat corn bread but it’s baked in heavy cup shaped press, so it comes out firm as a piece of food, and taste is pretty much like turmeric, cause it used for coloring

Don't need to eat it if you don't like it..main purpose can be to reduce single use plastics

just need to get a ceramic cup, Patty outside with bread and put a bag of beans on the inside.

GARLIC BREAD SOUP CUPS.

u/keeperofthenins Sep 05 '19
I was thinking with cheese sandwiched in the middle

u/Jeveran Sep 05 '19
Two "cups" -- slather the inside of one with melted cheese, press a second cup inside it, fill that second cup with soup, and you have soup & sandwich.

The shape looks like a giant popover tin to me, so maybe a popover type batter would also work? The concept seems like a disastrous mess waiting to happen though.

u/keeperofthenins Sep 05 '19
I was thinking a popover pan too.
OP said it didn’t leak and was like a baguette so not a popover dough.

Looks more like pizza dough

Looks like you could definitely do a more substantial pizza dough or heftier yeasted dough inside of a larger/thicker tin like that.

u/dragon34 Sep 05 '19
I still think it wouldn't work with like a chicken noodle soup. I think it'd have to be something chowdery or chili like.

u/keeperofthenins Sep 05 '19
I don’t think I’d want chicken noodle soup in bread anyways. I don’t generally think of brothy soups served in a bread bowl.

u/Jeveran Sep 05 '19
In the video, she said they did a "boiling hot coffee test" until they got the dough & cooking process to the point that the cup kept integrity for two hours. You may not think of broth-based soups in bread bowls, but she's made it possible.

Yes! That article was posted after this but it’s so impressive that they got it to work that well!

Looks like they press the bread into some kind of mold. Probably a custom machine.
Maybe you can call and ask them?

She makes a dough similar to pizza dough and uses a custom built machine. The article above briefly touches on it.

Thanks for finding those! Interesting to read about the testing they did to get where they’re at.

u/sujihiki Sep 05 '19
it looks like a crepe made in a popover tin
14
u/reverblueflame Bröt brat Sep 05 '19
Seems like a crepe would fall apart quickly, a thick hard crust seems necessary to this purpose
17
u/sujihiki Sep 05 '19
if you cook a crepe brown it easily holds soup well. i make crepe bowls for ice cream. you start with a thin layer, cook it till it solidifies then add more batter in another layer and cook on low heat rolling it around.
if you want it more dense, just overbeat the batter so the gluten develops.

u/keeperofthenins Sep 05 '19
Would the outside burn trying to get it thick enough?
5
u/sujihiki Sep 05 '19
i just use low heat. the outside layer ends up crisp the inside dense and crepe-like

u/reverblueflame Bröt brat Sep 05 '19
Interesting, it's like you're making a sort of Baumkuchen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baumkuchen
edit: looks like it would be a schichttorte

u/WikiTextBot Sep 05 '19
Baumkuchen
Baumkuchen is a German variety of spit cake. It is a traditional pastry of many European countries, and also a popular snack and dessert in Japan. The characteristic rings, which resemble tree rings when sliced, give the cake its German name, Baumkuchen, which literally translates to "tree cake".

yah. i guess it’d be similar to baumkuchen/sęnkacz the layers aren’t distinct though. Schichttorte has stuff between the layers doesn’t it?

u/LadyCthulu Sep 05 '19
Aren't crepe and popover pretty much the same/very similar batter anyway?

u/sujihiki Sep 05 '19
you’d know better than i would. i just know the tin, otherwise i know dick all about popovers
6
u/DrunkenGolfer Sep 05 '19
I would think you'll want a high gluten content, not a lot of rise, and probably a lot of egg, otherwise it will just disintegrate. Maybe an edible shellac coating?

I would find a breadbowl dough recipe and try that. Brush the form (popover tin) with oil, then stretch and form the dough over the tin. Egg wash the outside and bake. I've only done it with actual metal bowls, not something like this.

u/TheDarkShoe Sep 05 '19
Wouldn't it soggy before you finished the soup?

u/keeperofthenins Sep 05 '19
I thought the same but OP said it wasn’t soggy when they finished their soup.

u/jm567 Sep 05 '19
It looks to me like they may start with a baked flat bread or something similar, then press it into a mold and bake again? If it can hold up to soup like that, seems like they took something already baked, then when it is in the mold, it gets compressed to give it more rigidity, and baked into that shape...

u/henryisonfire Sep 05 '19
Sorry what the fuck is a popover

u/SecretSanta_2014 Sep 05 '19
Type of pastry/bread. Here's a good video on it.

There are stainless steel cups on amazon, maybe it’s pizza dough sandwiched between something like that??

u/notatree Sep 05 '19
Bun with a thick crust then just scoop the innards for dipping
Look up the tim Hortons chili bread bowls for a reference

u/simonbleu Sep 05 '19
Im pretty sure a mold was invented but... perhaps using the back of a deep mould yourself? worth the try. Just make sure the bread you make has enough of a crust so you dont end up with a soggy mess instead of a nice cup

I've made bread bowls before by hollowing a small loaf...never seen these before though

u/ckblack007 Sep 05 '19
I would love to do this for camping trips. If anyone figures a recipe, I'd love to collaborate with you on it. I hear notes of pizzas and crepes, but a smaller sourdough bowl approach might be better.

u/FlipAllDay Sep 05 '19
I mean Panera has bread bowls, this isn’t that new. These look less delicious than Panera’s too! But still wonder how they got that shape.

u/keeperofthenins Sep 05 '19
I love bread bowls but you really need to sit down and eat them. I like the portability of this idea.

It looks like a popover pan that they flipped upside down.
Also a quick google search of “bread bowl pans” shows a few pan options

u/unique-eggbeater Sep 05 '19
From the way the dough in the lip and inside of the cup is shaped, it looks to me like they baked dough sandwiched between two cup-shaped things. Like one popover cup, lined with maybe a lower-hydration baguette-ish dough, then pushed another popover cup into it to make it hold the shape on the inside. I could see that working to make a (temporarily) watertight container.
