Easy Superbowl Recipe: Hot Pizza Dip with Fresh Garlic - Tips and Tricks

[bridgetbakes]

Has anyone tried adding fresh garlic to this recipe w/ the garlic press? I would like to show off the press but was not sure if the garlic should be added to the cream cheese spread or on top of the cheese or not at all. Thoughts??

(I am making this tomorrow as an easy Superbowl recipe.)

I add it to the softened cream cheese along with some italian seasoning.

Oh yummy. That would be good!! I always make bread in the bread tube and I wondered what I was going to do when they discontinued it. Now I know!!

I have to pipe in here that I do this recipe a fair amount at shows and it's always a big hit. You can personalize it with whatever toppings the host wants (within reason). My favorites to demo are bell pepper, onion and pepperoni.

For dippers, I like to do bread in a wreath around the Mini Baker. I use 2 loaves of frozen bread dough, thawed. Cut each loaf into 3 long strips (leave them connected at one end) and braid. Pull the ends out to lengthen the braids. Then place the Mini Baker in the center of the large round stone and put the bread braids around it, joining the ends to form a circle. Brush with a little melted butter that has a garlic clove pressed in it, and sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan. Bake as directed, or until the bread is done. Serve right on the stone on the Woven Round Tray.

If you don't want to bother with bread, then crunchy breadsticks or even pretzels make good dippers.

Tortilla chips are great dippers too!! I actually make my pizza dip in the microwave...very fast!!

I add pepperoni and bake in the microwave
