3. Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Add the carrots, potatoes, bay leaf, and beef broth.
5. Cover and let simmer on low heat for about 60–90 minutes, until the beef is tender and the sauce is thick.
6. Cut the top off the bread loaf and carefully hollow out the inside to create a bowl.
7. (Optional) Lightly toast the bread bowl in the oven to keep it crispy.
8. Pour the hot beef stew into the bread bowl and garnish with fresh parsley.
