Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 loaf sourdough bread
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) artichoke hearts
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) frozen spinach
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) cream cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C), preparing a baking sheet for the sourdough transformation.
- Carefully slice the sourdough loaf in a precise diagonal grid pattern, ensuring the bottom crust remains intact, creating a intricate network of bread sections.
- Blend artichoke hearts, spinach, sour cream, cream cheese, most of the mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a creamy, well-integrated mixture.
- Methodically stuff the savory cheese mixture deep into each bread crevice, pressing gently to ensure even distribution throughout the loaf.
- Strategically scatter the remaining mozzarella over the top, allowing some cheese to nestle into the bread’s cut lines.
- Encase the loaded loaf in aluminum foil, then bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 10-15 minutes until the cheese becomes golden, bubbly, and irresistibly melted.
- Allow the bread to rest briefly, then invite guests to pull apart the warm, gooey sections, revealing the hidden pockets of cheesy artichoke and spinach filling.
Notes
- Slice the bread carefully to maintain its structural integrity, ensuring cuts are even and do not slice through the bottom crust.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and sour cream for smoother, easier mixing of the filling.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute sourdough with gluten-free bread or a large gluten-free baguette.
- Enhance flavor by adding crispy bacon bits or red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture for extra depth and spiciness.
