For those of you who are addicted to anything
involving cheese this is the world’s most fabulous dip! To die for, yes I
probably am over exaggerating, however this is honestly how I feel.
Due to finding this fantastic loaf of bread at
HyVee, I decided we would have to make this dip for the Super Bowl, as I just
had to have it.
On top of my infatuation with cheese, I love
garlic, hence the choice of Garlic Crown, plus this is just a gorgeous loaf of
bread, the ridges and the dark gold and brown just make it lovely as a bread
bowl at a party.
When you make this the first time, play with your
choices in cheeses, just because the recipe calls for a very specific cheese
that isn’t particularly your favorite doesn't mean it can't be substituted.
Always keep this in mind when cooking; it's ok to make something your
own!
First we used a different kind of bread both
times we've made this. First time we used King's Hawaiian-Original Hawaiian
Sweet Bread, we also used mascarpone as this was the only other cheese
product we had in the fridge at the time. This turned out really sweet and
surprisingly delish. Our family kept going back for more and before the family
event was over the entire thing was gone.
This time we doubled the artichokes used, added
black olives, and used the garlic loaf from HyVee. Hardest part of the recipe
is removing the guts of the bread. Carefully is in caps for a reason! I ripped
a hole in the bottom of our loaf by mistake by being overzealous! Whoops. Note:
even when it's slightly bruised and not gorgeous, it's how it tastes that
matters (unless you're on Chopped, in which case don't put disgusting tasting
or looking food in front of them). Also, if you have too much of the filling,
it never hurts to have some spare rolls just lying about.
Below you'll find the recipe:
BAKED CHEESE DIP IN SOURDOUGH BOWL
Borrowed from: My Mom's friend Carolyn
 |
| Before Baking |
1 10 inch sourdough bread - remove most of
the inside of the loaf CAREFULLY. Save...
1 can drained or 1 cup chopped baby
artichokes.
1 cup Brie (cut into small pieces)
3 minced cloves of garlic
2/3 cup mayonnaise or thick plain yogurt
2/3 cup jack cheese grated
2/3 cup Parmesan grated
2/3 Cup sharp cheddar
1 small white or brown onion chopped
Mix all ingredients in large bowl. (We use our
hands to mix it all together and to put it inside the bread bowl.) Put
ingredients inside hollowed out bread bowl then place bread lid on top! Line
baking pan with foil and place bread bowl in center of pan.
Bake 1 ¼ hours at 350 degrees.
Serve with French bread cubes or Wheat Thins or
slightly cooked broccoli or slightly cooked carrot strips.

| Inside a delish pretzel roll! |

| Kalamata Olive rolla |

| Super Seed Bread (I honestly don't know what it's called) |
We save all of the bread we take out of the
insides of the rolls to use for later dipping.
I hope you enjoy!
