mix the 5 dry ingredients together in the stand mixer with bread hook on

put the water, greek yogurt and olive oil in a small bowl and stir together

Stand Mixer--add to the dry ingredients in the mixer, mix until combined and let the machine knead it for 5 minutes

then remove the dough hook, form the dough into a ball, pour a little oil in the mixing bowl add the dough, turn to coat, cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise for 15 minutes

Knead by Hand--mix dry ingredients, then mix wet ingredients together and add to dry ingredients, stir to combine, keep stirring until a dough forms, then mix with your hands until the flour is absorbed and then knead for 5 minutes, then make into a ball, grease a mixing bowl, put the dough in and cover with a damp kitchen towel

meanwhile prep the oven, move one rack to lowest position, and the other to a mid oven position

get a baking sheet ready to hold the bowls and also a cake pan which you will be filling with hot water and placing on the lower rack

once the dough has risen, remove the towel, punch it down, divide into equal pieces and form each into a ball, squeezing and pinching the seams together and placing it on a baking sheet seam side down

place the balls roughly 5-6 inches apart from each other

cut a 1/4 inch deep slash on the top of each ball, brush each ball with oil, then sprinkle with salt

place in the cold oven, turn on to 400˚, set the timer for 40 minutes

fill the baking pan with hot water and place on the lower rack off the oven

you are now 40 minutes away from fresh hot bread bowls

once the bowls cool you can cut out a circle and pull out the inside of the bowl a bit to make room for soup
