Ingredients
1 large sourdough boule
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
0.5 cup shredded parmesan cheese
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing)
Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and place sourdough loaf on a cutting board.
2. Use a serrated knife to slice the bread in a crisscross pattern, leaving the base intact.
3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
4. Stir in spinach, chopped artichokes, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese.
5. Use a spoon to stuff the filling into all cuts of the sourdough, pressing deep into the loaf.
6. Place the filled bread on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil if desired.
7. Wrap the loaf loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
8. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and bread edges are golden.
9. Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot for best texture and flavor.
Notes
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature to ensure a smooth, spreadable filling.
Drain spinach completely to avoid soggy bread — press it through a towel if needed.
For extra crunch, brush the loaf with olive oil before baking and finish uncovered for golden edges.
