Scale
For the Bread Base:
- 1 large sourdough bread loaf
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
For the Spinach & Artichoke Filling:
- 1 ½ cups chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, drained well)
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup mayonnaise
For the Cheese Topping:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Bread: Place the sourdough loaf on a cutting board. Cut a grid pattern into the bread, making sure not to slice all the way through.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix chopped spinach, artichokes, minced garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Stuff the Bread: Using a spoon, carefully fill the bread crevices with the spinach-artichoke mixture.
- Add Garlic Butter: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and onion powder. Brush over the top and inside the cuts of the bread.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella, Parmesan, and cheddar cheese generously over the top.
- Bake Covered: Wrap the bread loosely in foil and bake for 20 minutes to melt the cheese evenly.
- Finish Baking: Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Cool & Serve: Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- For a crispier crust: Bake uncovered for the last 5 minutes.
- Customize the filling: Add crispy bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, or caramelized onions.
- For a spicier kick: Increase red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeños.
