Originating in the 15th century in Dublin, Ireland, when a nobleman created one to impress an English duke, this innovative dish has seen various adaptations over centuries. The current bread bowl form gained popularity in San Francisco through its sourdough culture and later became mainstream in the U.S. through restaurant chains like Panera, highlighting a return to practical and flavorful dining methods.
The art of eating from bread bowls, though appeared modern, is rooted in centuries of tradition, starting from medieval Europe with trenchers as practical dishes.
The initial commercial bread bowl originated in Dublin in the 15th century when a nobleman created it to impress an English duke, leading to a bread bowl shop.
