- Prepare the Spinach Artichoke Dip:
- In a medium bowl, combine the thawed spinach, chopped artichokes, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix until everything is well-combined and smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a serrated knife, make crisscross cuts into the loaf of bread, creating a checkerboard pattern, but don’t cut all the way through. Leave the bottom of the bread intact so that the loaf stays together.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Assemble the Pull-Apart Bread:
- Gently pull apart the cuts in the bread to create spaces for the dip. Spoon the spinach artichoke dip generously into each cut in the bread. Make sure to fill each slit with the cheesy dip mixture.
- Drizzle the melted butter and olive oil over the top of the bread, allowing it to seep into the cracks. This will help the bread crisp up and add a buttery flavor.
- Bake the Bread:
- Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the dip is hot and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-browning.
- Serve:
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
- Serve warm, and enjoy the cheesy, creamy, and crunchy goodness of this festive bread!
