I made this new recipe tonight for some visitors (a host and her daughter that stopped over to close a show) and they gave it a big :thumbup:. I would definitely do this recipe at shows. I would make one change for sure. The recipe calls for 2 T lemon juice. I thought it made it just a little too sour when dipped with the sour dough bread. I would cut back to about a tablespoon next time (it didn't taste too sour by itself, just with the sour dough bread). To save a little money, you could buy one round and use the inside bread for cubes, and then also serve with crackers and/or carrots. Next time, I want to try the Knorr Spinach mix instead of the vegetable mix. I bet that would be good!

Here's the recipe for anyone who doesn't have it yet and can't wait!

Bread Bowl Artichoke Dip

2 16 oz sourdough bread rounds (about 6" in diameter), divided
Vegetable oil (I used the garlic canola oil)
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 c milk
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts in water, drained
1 1.4 oz envelope or one 1.8 oz box (2 envelopes) vegetable soup mix (I found Knorr brand)
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 lemon
1 8 oz container sour cream
Grated fresh Parmesan cheese, optional (definitely use it!)

1. Preheat oven to 450. Slice top off of one bread round to create a lid. Carefully remove center of bread round to form a 4 1/2 inch wide and 2 inch deep well for dip. Slice center of first and entire second bread round into 1 inch cubes. Place bread bowl on center of Large ound Stone with Handles. Arrange bread cubes around bowl; spray with oil.

2. In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth. Add milk to cream cheese; whisk until smooth. Chop artichokes using Food Chopper. Add artichokes, soup mix and garlic to batter bowl; mix well. Microwave on high 5-7 minutes or until hot -do no boil (mine only took 4 and it started to brown on the edges). Juice lemon to measure 2 T juice. Stir juice and sour cream into hot artichoke mixture; pour into bread bowl.

3. If desired, grate Parmesan cheese over bread bowl and bread cubes using Rotary Grater. Lean lid against bread bowl (I sprayed this with oil and grated Parmesan cheese over it, too. Made it pretty). Bake 13-5 minutes or until bread cubes and top of dip are golden brown. REmove from oven; serve immediately.

This recipe is AWESOME!!! We made it at our cluster meeting last Tuesday and it went over very well. I agree with you Diane about the lemon juice, I think it might be even better with it scaled back. I LOVE our new theme shows, the Game Day one is GREAT (especially for TX - a huge football state)!!!

I also thought it might be good to add spinach to it?? Hmm, something to try at home!!
 
You could probably add 1 box of frozen spinach, thawed and well drained (salad spinner!), and maybe a little mayo to keep it "loose." Of course, then you'd have more dip than would fit in the bread, so you'd have to bake some in a small stone.
 
I cannot wait to make this. Time to have some company over.
 
YUMMO! Is all I have to say! We had it today at our meeting! :)
 
Wow, that sounds awesome -- thanks for sharing!

I am looking forward to seeing the microwave Chilli Recipe (hint*hint).

I know! And what a great opportunity to educate our customers about the difference between a head and a clove. :)

Yeah, 48 heads would be dangerous...you'd smell that chili clear in MI! (Since the winds head east...) :rolleyes:
 
In the Artichoke Dip - I dont see the sour cream listed in the ingredients - but later it calls for stirring it into the dip with the lemon juice. Diane, can you correct it? I'm sure you just forgot to type it in!

Cant wait to try these. I make a crock pot chicken chili already - this one sounds yummy and can you say GARLIC!!!!

"Arrange bread cubes around bowl; spray with vegetable oil using Kitchen Spritzer." Has anyone made the bread bowl artichoke dip and omitted this step? I'm not a big fan of the kitchen spritzer. Any other ideas?
 
yep do what I did serve it with crackers!!

for the mediterranean dip I am brushing the bread (didn't want the pitas) with my basting brush I put garlic canola oil in a pinch bowl shows more higher priced items

Use your silicone brush and lightly coat with oil -
 
I like to take a small loaf bread, cut thinly, and lay around the bowl. Otherwise it is hard to get the dip on the small cubes. I think the dip is too dense to work with on the cubes.
 
Thanks for the quick replies. I did think of using the silicone basting brush (which I love) and brushing the oil on. It's nice to hear that others had the same thoughts/ideas.

One more question. Did everyone grate the parmesan cheese over top? I would like to demo the new grater but my small town grocery store does not carry fresh parmesan. It is just as good without?
 
Bumping...just wondering if everyone grated the fresh parmesan cheese overtop or omitted this step.

I use the cheese.
 
I thought the cheese was a great addition, haven't tried it without.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need for the Delicious Bread Bowl Artichoke Dip?

To make the Delicious Bread Bowl Artichoke Dip, you will need the following ingredients: a round loaf of bread (such as sourdough or Italian), canned artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheese (like mozzarella or Parmesan), garlic, and seasonings such as salt, pepper, and optional herbs like parsley or basil.

How do I prepare the bread bowl for the dip?

To prepare the bread bowl, first, cut the top off the round loaf of bread and carefully hollow out the inside, leaving about an inch of bread on the bottom and sides. You can use the removed bread for dipping or as croutons later. Make sure to keep the top piece to cover the dip when serving.

Can I make the artichoke dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the artichoke dip ahead of time. Mix all the dip ingredients together and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, fill the hollowed-out bread bowl with the dip and bake it according to the recipe instructions.

What can I serve with the artichoke dip besides the bread bowl?

In addition to the bread bowl, you can serve the artichoke dip with a variety of dippers such as fresh vegetable sticks (like carrots, celery, and bell peppers), tortilla chips, pita chips, or crackers. These options provide a nice contrast to the creamy dip and enhance the overall experience.

How long should I bake the bread bowl with the dip inside?

Bake the filled bread bowl at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the bread is slightly toasted. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
