Ingredients

1 loaf of refrigerated pizza dough or bread dough
1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (for egg wash)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Spinach Artichoke Dip

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the thawed and squeezed spinach, along with the chopped artichoke hearts, and mix until everything is well combined.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pizza dough or bread dough on a lightly floured surface.
Use a round baking sheet or pizza pan to arrange the dough in a circle, leaving the center empty for the dip.

Step 3: Assemble the Bread Ring

Spoon the spinach artichoke dip mixture into the center of the dough ring.
Carefully fold the dough over the dip, crimping and tucking the edges to seal the bread ring.
Brush the top of the dough with a beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 4: Bake

Place the bread ring in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 5: Serve

Once baked, remove the bread ring from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve with additional dipping sauces like marinara or ranch.

Instructions

Prepare Pans:
- Generously coat two 9-inch round pans with melted butter or nonstick spray. Place a 6-inch bowl upside down in the center of each pan.
Let Rolls Rise:
- Arrange ten frozen rolls evenly around each bowl. Lightly spritz the rolls with cooking spray and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Drape a towel over both pans and let them sit in a warm area for about 2-3 hours, or until the rolls have doubled in size.
Prepare Spinach and Artichokes:
- Ensure that all excess water has been removed from the spinach and the artichokes are well-drained. Chop both the spinach and artichokes and set aside.
Make the Dip:
- In a large bowl, blend together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, salt, pepper, garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes until smooth and well-combined. Stir in the chopped spinach and artichokes. Place the mixture in the refrigerator while the rolls are rising.
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Fill the Rolls:
- Once the rolls have risen, remove the bowl from the center of each pan. Spoon half of the prepared spinach artichoke mixture into the empty space in the center of each pan.
Brush with Butter:
- Brush each roll with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake:
- Place the pans in the oven and bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
- Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy, delicious Spinach Artichoke Dip Bread Ring!

Notes

You can prep the dip mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to fill the rolls.
For extra flavor, consider adding a bit of crushed red pepper or a handful of chopped green onions to the dip.
