Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Spinach Artichoke Dip:

  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup (60g) fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (75g) canned artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bread:

  • 1 package (16 oz/450g) refrigerated pizza dough or crescent roll dough
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Garnish:

  • Additional grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped
  • Cherry tomatoes (optional, for decoration)

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Spinach Artichoke Dip:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Dough:
    • Roll out the pizza or crescent dough on a floured surface. Cut into squares approximately 2 inches by 2 inches.
  4. Assemble the Bread:
    • Place about 1 teaspoon of the spinach artichoke dip in the center of each square.
    • Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to form a ball, pinching to seal.
    • Arrange the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree (one ball at the top, increasing rows below). Leave a little space between each ball for expansion during baking.
  5. Brush and Season:
    • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the butter mixture over the dough balls.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and puffed.
  7. Garnish and Serve:
    • Let the bread cool slightly. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley or basil.
    • Optionally, place cherry tomatoes as “ornaments” for decoration. Serve warm, with extra spinach artichoke dip or marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, use store-bought spinach artichoke dip as the filling.
  • Assemble the bread a few hours ahead and bake just before serving for maximum freshness.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10 minutes.
