Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large round loaf of sourdough or crusty bread (about 1012 ounces / 280340 grams)
  • 10 ounces (280 grams) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup (240 grams) canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (100 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups (200 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add thoroughly drained chopped spinach and artichokes to the mixture. Stir until well combined and spreadable.
  3. Using a serrated knife, cut the sourdough loaf in a crosshatch pattern about ¾ of the way down without slicing through the bottom crust.
  4. Gently spread the spinach and artichoke dip mixture between the cuts in the bread. Avoid overstuffing.
  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the top, working it into the crevices.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed bread on a lined baking sheet.
  7. Brush melted butter over the entire loaf.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is crispy and golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top.
  10. Serve warm by pulling apart the bread sections.

Notes

Drain spinach well to avoid soggy bread. Use freshly shredded mozzarella for best melting. Brush bread with butter before baking for a crispy crust. Tent with foil if bread browns too quickly.
