Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bread.
- Cut the Bread: Carefully slice the loaf of bread in a grid pattern, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom, so the bread stays intact.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed, drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy filling.
- Stuff the Bread: Gently stuff the spinach artichoke mixture into the cuts of the bread, filling all the gaps evenly.
- Wrap and Bake: Wrap the stuffed bread tightly in aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to warm through and melt the cheeses.
- Unwrap and Continue Baking: Carefully unwrap the foil and bake the bread uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is slightly crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve the pull-apart bread warm, allowing guests to pull apart pieces loaded with the delicious spinach artichoke filling.
Notes
- Make sure to fully drain the thawed spinach to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or cream cheese for a different texture and flavor.
- Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder if preferred, adjusting quantity to taste.
- Try different cheeses like pepper jack or cheddar for a variation in flavor.
- Serve with extra marinara or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
- For a crispier crust, broil the bread for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
