Looks good, hey?
Now that we’re all on the same page, and it’s been concluded this lasagne bread bowl recipe is a pure work of art, we’re going to show you how you can make it yourself at home.
Ingredients:
- A long ciabatta loaf or any other long, crusty bread of your choice. (Hot tip: you can even buy a big bag of smaller baguette rolls and make individual mini ones if you’ve got kids or a party to cater for.
- 250g of ricotta or homemade béchamel sauce
- Homemade or store-bought bolognese sauce
- Your favourite shredded cheese
- Italian herbs
- Pre-cooked or fresh lasagne sheets
- Garlic butter (optional)
Method:
- Using a sharp bread knife, cut the centre out of your chosen loaf or bread rolls and brush a thin layer of melted garlic butter in the groove and all over the outside of the loaf.
- If your lasagne sheets are larger than your bread roll’s groove, now’s a good time to cut them all to size with a small knife.
- Place one layer on the bottom of your roll or loaf.
- Grab some béchamel sauce or ricotta and thinly layer that on, followed by a generous amount of shredded cheese and bolognese sauce.
- Repeat a few times until the entire groove is filled with your delicious toppings, ensuring you finish with cheese on the top layer.
- Now, add some Italian herbs to finish.
- Pop your loaf or mini rolls on a baking tray and pop these babies into the oven at 200 degrees for about 15-20 mins until your cheese is fully melted over.
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then cut open and serve!
