Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chopped spinach, no salt added, drained and squeezed dry
1/2 cup diced canned red bell pepper (pimentos)
12 large black olives, chopped (optional)
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 lb frozen pizza dough, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in spinach, peppers, olives, crushed pepper, 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Roll out pizza dough into a 12-inch round using just enough flour on the work surface and dough to keep it from sticking. Brush off excess flour and transfer dough to a baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the center and mound the spinach mixture on one side of the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border of exposed dough at the edge. Brush the exposed edge with water, and fold the other side of the dough over top, stretching it so that it completely encases the filling. Firmly pinch the edges together sealing the filling inside. Cut 4 slits in the top and brush with remaining olive oil. Bake until crisp and brown, about 20 minutes; cool 10 minutes before serving. Cut in 6 wedges.

SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP STUFFED GARLIC BREAD RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Spinach & Artichoke Dip Stuffed Garlic Bread Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by BobN

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 baguette
1/2 tablespoon oil
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10-ounce) bag baby spinach leaves
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 green onions, sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
Parmesan cheese, grated, to top
Fresh basil leaves or parsley, torn, to top

Steps:

  • Cut the baguette into 4 pieces. Use a long knife to cut out the insides, leaving some bread along the edges. Pull out the loose bread to leave hollow bread quarters. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add in the artichoke pieces and cook for one minute. Reduce heat to medium, add in the spinach, and cook until wilted, turning often. Mix in the cream cheese and mozzarella, and let it melt entirely. Fold in the green onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stuff the baguette quarters with the spinach and artichoke dip, using a spoon to help pack the dip. Once the bread is stuffed, transfer it to a cutting board. Line up the quarters so that they fit together as they did before the baguette was cut. Slice the baguette into slices that are approximately 1" thick. Tear a piece of heavy duty foil that is about 5 to 6 inches longer than the baguette. Slide the baguette slices off of the cutting board and onto the foil, keeping them together. In a small bowl, combine the butter and minced garlic. Loosely cover the top and microwave for a minute, or until the butter is fully melted. Brush the garlic butter over the baguette, allowing some to drip down between the slices. Make sure to get all of the minced garlic on top of the bread. Wrap the foil around the bread and bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake for 5 minutes, or until the top browns slightly. Remove from the oven, top with parmesan cheese and torn basil or parsley leaves, and serve warm.
