Serve hot spinach & artichoke spread as a pull-apart bread

Some people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity can actually tolerate sourdough because the extended fermentation process uses bacteria and wild yeast to break down gluten proteins. If you fall into that category, give this variation a try!

To create a hot spinach & artichoke pull-apart bread, you’ll need a 16-ounce round loaf of sourdough bread.

Step 1: Use a sharp knife to slice the bread in one direction. Slices should be about 1 inch apart. Slice bread in the opposite direction to create squares. Do not slice all the way through the bread.

Step 2: Gently pull the bread slices apart and stuff the spinach and artichoke mixture into the slices.

Step: Once you’ve stuffed all of the spread into the slices, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Turn the heat up to 400 degrees and bake for another 4-5 minutes or until the cheese on top is golden brown.

This hot spinach & artichoke spread can be served as a pull-apart bread.
