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 chili, stew or thick soup. Makes 2 pumpkin bowls.
