Welcome to the world of deliciousness with my Spinach Artichoke Pull-Apart Bread! If you’re like me, juggling a busy schedule while trying to whip up something delightful for your family can feel overwhelming.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of crusty bread (such as Italian or French)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts until evenly distributed.
- Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts in the loaf of bread, being careful not to cut all the way through. Then make diagonal cuts in the opposite direction to create a grid pattern.
- Gently pull apart the sections of the bread and stuff the spinach artichoke mixture between the cuts, ensuring an even distribution.
- Wrap the stuffed bread in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- Make sure to use fresh spinach for the best flavor.
- This dish is best served warm and can be reheated in the oven.
