How To Prepare The Spinach Dip and Bread Boule

Prepare the spinach dip in a mixing bowl by mixing all the ingredients together until fully combined. Set it aside while preparing the bread bowl. Slice the top off the bread boule and remove the insides.Try to pull bigger pieces since you’ll be using them for dipping later. Keep the bread pieces on the same baking pan to toast it with the bread bowl. Bake it in your pre-heated oven for 5-10 minutes or until your bread is toasted properly and bread pieces are starting to brown. While the bread bowl is still hot, transfer the spinach dip immediately and serve it warm.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• Spinach - thaw frozen spinach in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, you can use fresh spinach, just boil and let cool first.
• Ricotta Cheese - fresh cheese that is creamy yet mild in flavor. You can also whip your own Homemade Ricotta Cheese with just 4 ingredients.
• Sour Cream - this adds some tangy flavor or slight acidic flavor to this spinach dip. You can substitute it with cream cheese if you prefer.
• French Onion Soup Powder Mix - a flavorful savory seasoning that goes well with the other components of this dip. Although this powder mix can easily be bought from stores, you can also make your own mix from your spice rack.
• Bread Boule - a French-style bread that’s shaped as a squashed ball and great for recipes like dips and soups because of its thick crust.
