Spinach Artichoke Dip in a Bread Bowl image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 round loaf sourdough or country bread, 6 to 7 inches in diameter
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound chopped frozen spinach, thawed
One 15-ounce can quartered artichoke hearts, drained

1 cup shredded mozzarella
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Assorted crudites, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and artichokes and cook, stirring, until hot, about 3 minutes. Add the cream cheese and cook, stirring, until melted. Stir in the mozzarella and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the mixture into the bread bowl, mounding it slightly if necessary, and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Place the bread and the top side by side on a baking sheet and bake until the bread is hot and crusty and the top of the spinach dip is lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the bread bowl to a serving platter. Tear the top of the bread into chunks and serve alongside the dip with crudites for dipping.

  • When the dough cycle has finished, remove the dough from the machine and place on a lightly floured surface, gently punch the dough down, then carefully roll it out to a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
  • Roll up the dough from one long side to form a thick baton shape with a square end.

Tips:

  • Ensure Accurate Measurements: Precise measurements are crucial for successful baking. Utilize measuring cups and spoons, and level ingredients using a knife or straight edge.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: For optimal results, bring ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter to room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter or dough.
  • Spinach Preparation: Thoroughly clean and chop the spinach before adding it to the bread. Wilting the spinach beforehand helps remove excess moisture and intensifies its flavor.
  • Leavening Agents: Baking powder and baking soda are both essential for creating a light and fluffy bread. Ensure they are fresh and active for the best results.
  • Kneading and Rising: Properly knead the dough to develop gluten and elasticity, which contributes to the bread's texture. Allow adequate time for the dough to rise, as this helps it develop flavor and become airy.
  • Baking Temperature: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before placing the bread inside. Maintaining the correct temperature throughout baking is crucial to prevent undercooked or overcooked bread.
  • Baking Time: The baking time may vary depending on the size and shape of the bread. Use a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center of the bread to check for doneness. It should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.
