Trader Joe’s sourdough boules review

Craving a Panera bread bowl but at home? Trader Joe’s came out with new sourdough boules that are the perfect way to recreate! I put the tomato and roasted pepper soup in my bowl but you can use any soup! I give this new product a 7/10 only because it was too much bread and I felt like I just wasted the whole bread. But definitely give it a try and let me know your thoughts!

... Read moreOkay, so you've seen my initial review of the Trader Joe's Sourdough Boule as a soup bread bowl. While I loved the concept, giving it a 7/10 mainly because of the sheer amount of bread, I wanted to share a few more tips and ideas to really elevate your sourdough experience, especially if you're thinking about diving into the world of Trader Joe's sourdough bread. First off, let's talk about making that perfect bread bowl. Carving out the center and toasting it, as I mentioned in my post, is a game-changer! Don't just scoop out the bread and fill it. Tossing those carved-out pieces into a toaster oven for a few minutes until they're golden and slightly crisp adds incredible texture. They become perfect dippers for your soup! This step really helps prevent the bread from getting soggy too quickly, which is key for a good bread bowl experience. The Trader Joe’s sourdough boule, at its 14 oz (397g) size, provides plenty of material for this, so you won't run out of dippers! Now, about what to fill it with! Beyond my delicious tomato and roasted pepper soup, which is always a classic, there are so many possibilities. If you're looking for the best bread bowl filling recipes, consider a creamy broccoli cheddar soup – it’s hearty and pairs wonderfully with sourdough. Chili is another fantastic option, especially as we head into cooler weather! For something lighter, a creamy mushroom or even a French onion soup (with extra cheese on top, of course!) would be incredible. The robust flavor of Trader Joe's sourdough bread holds up well to rich soups. And for those who, like me, found it to be "too much bread," don't despair! One trick is to simply use a smaller portion of the boule. You can cut the boule in half or even quarters for individual servings, and then carve out a smaller section. Or, you can embrace the extra bread! What I love to do with the leftover carved-out bread is to make croutons for salads or even a quick bread pudding. Nothing goes to waste! Trader Joe's has a fantastic bread section, and while their sourdough boule is a standout for bread bowls, don't forget their other gems. Their San Francisco style sourdough bread is another popular choice if you prefer a classic loaf for sandwiches or toast. And for something completely different, if you're into the idea of a 'bagel bread' texture, their regular bagels are great, but for actual sourdough, the boule is pretty unique. I've also heard great things about their sprouted wheat sourdough bread and cracked wheat sourdough bread for those looking for different textures and nutritional profiles. And if you're someone who bakes, don't overlook their bread flour – it’s a staple for many home bakers! While I haven't tried making French toast with the sourdough boule, I can imagine it adding a wonderful tang to a sweet breakfast, much like some people rave about using sourdough for French toast. Next time I'm at Trader Joe's, I might have to grab another boule and experiment! What are your favorite Trader Joe's bread finds?
