Preparation
The Bread Bowls:
1. Insert all the ingredients to the mixer bowl with a kneading hook and knead for about 10 minutes.
2. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a plastic wrap or damp towel and let the dough rise for about 1.5 hours.
3. Divide the dough into 4 parts and roll each one into a ball.
4. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and place for 20 minutes in a turned off oven preheated to 120°F (50°C).
5. Heat the oven to 356°F (180°C) and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
The Lentil Soup:
1. Select the orange lentils and rinse well with water.
2. Chop the onion and fry in the olive oil until lightly browned.
3. Cut the carrots into cubes, add to the pan and fry for about 1 minute on medium heat, until the carrots soften but do not turn brown.
4. Add the lentils and about 12 cups of water, and bring to a boil.
5. Season with the spices, lower the heat, cover and cook for about 30 minutes until the lentils are soft and crumbly (if you do not want the soup to be too thick, add more boiling water).
6. Serving: cut the dome of the bread and empty some of the contents. Pour the hot orange lentil soup into the bread bowl and serve immediately.
