How to make Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Bread
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Preheat the oven.
- Get all the ingredients together. Cut a pocket in the loaf of bread, then set the extra bread aside. Now make the filling by combining all of the ingredients, except 1 up of shredded cheese (set aside). Make sure everything is mixed well.
- Scoop the spinach artichoke mixture into the pocket in the bread, then top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil, then place into the oven. Bake and then after the time is up, remove the foil and broil a few minutes to get the cheese bubbly and browned!
- Remove the spinach artichoke stuffed bread from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes, then using a heavy duty knife, cut the bread into slices.
Can I make the bread ahead of time?
Yes! Make this ahead of time by prepping everything, and filling the bread with the filling. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, then loosely cover with foil. Refrigerate until you are ready to bake it.
Can I lighten up Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Bread?
Yes, there are a few ways to save some fat and calories in this recipe.
- Replace the mayonnaise with reduced fat mayonnaise.
- Replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt. This will save a lot of fat and calories, but also will add more protein.
- Use low moisture part sim mozzarella cheese instead of the full fat version. Either way, grate the cheese yourself for the best consistency.

This Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Bread is one of a kind, and takes everyone's favorite appetizer to the next level. This is the perfect party appetizer or weekend treat!
- 1 large loaf French or Italian bread
- 10 ounce bag frozen chopped spinach, cooked and drained
- 14 ounces artichoke hearts drained and chopped
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ¾ cups sour cream
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl, combine cooked spinach, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, sour cream, ½ cup grated cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
-
Cut a hole into the French bread. Careful not to cut through the bottom. Spoon dip into the hole, and spread around evenly. Top with remaining cheese.
-
Use foil to cover the bread loosely (you do not want the foil touching the bread or else it will rip off the cheese - tent loosely).
-
Cook for 20 minutes, covered, then remove foil and bake for 5-8 more minutes or until bread and cheese are browning. Remove from oven.
-
Using a serrated knife, cut into slices and serve immediately.
Optional: Melt butter and mix some garlic with it. Brush over sides of bread to make a delicious garlic butter crust.

Frozen spinach is already cooked. Do you just mean heat it? Thank you! Yesterday I made the sloppy Joe stuffed bread and it was incredible by the way!
Allyson
Yes, you should heat/defrost/cook the spinach so it's not cold and frozen 🙂
Cat
Sorry one other question! I’m curious why this step is very different than the one that doesn’t go in the bread. Thank you so much! I am on a stuffed bread frenzy!
Cat
Sorry this dip- not this step! Autocorrect!!!
