"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?

I think if you have the Spritzer, you should break it out for this recipe. I had never used it before and am not super crazy about it, but I've sold 2 Spritzers at each show so far!

Next time, I want to try the Knorr Spinach mix instead of the vegetable mix. I bet that would be good!

has anyone tried this??
im making this for my oct 2nd show & was gonna test it this weekend but i was thinking that the spinach mix would taste better...

You know - any time I show the kitchen spritzer, I sell at least 2-3 at that show...it's a quick add-on!

Really? I finally made this today and both my husband and myself didn't care for it. My DH picked up on the citrus taste...lemon juice right away and said he thought it would taste better without. (I had to agree.)
 
I made the dip using crab meat rather than artichokes... I also added some "Old Bay" it's a Maryland spice.. turned out GREAT!! :)
 
It sounds good both ways, crab meat and artichoke. The one show I did with the bread bowl they loved it with the artichoke. I love crab though so I will have to try that ;)
I am not a fan of the kitchen spritzer either, at the one show I used it at (when I first started PC) it clogged up or something and wouldn't spray. Everyone was disappointed and one lady said, "I have one and I hate it, if you plan to order one don't, you can have mine for free!" She is a big Pampered Chef fan too. Needless to say nobody ordered them at that show. I tried it several more times at home thinking I was doing something wrong, I just don't care for it at all, I quit demo'ing it all together.
 
I've only had the bread bowl dip at our fall kick-off meeting but I loved it. We did spray it with the spritzer, and we did grate on some parmesan using the new grater. My kitchen spritzer is 3 years old and I've never had one problem with it - I use it weekly and especially love it when using my fluted pan. I sell plenty too and have never had a complaint!

I plan on using this recipe for my Nov shows and I think I will offer the crab as an alternative - thanks for the tip, it sounds wonderful!!! And I will use the kitchen spritzer and the parmesan in the grater - both products are great I think for our interactive shows.

Terry, did you add the lemon juice when you substitued the crab meat?
 

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.
