This spinach artichoke bread gives you all the flavor of the dip piled high onto crispy bread and topped with lots of cheese.
I have a weird phobia about artichokes.
I think they’re very odd.
If you look at them they don’t even appear like they should be eaten! I should probably also confess I have never actually had fresh artichokes before.
Again, they freak me out. I’m sorry.
So now that you know how I feel about artichokes I’m sure you are wondering why I made bread that contained artichokes.
Well, they came from a can and somehow just seemed more normal looking.
Plus I’m a huge fan of spinach artichoke dip so I figured I couldn’t go wrong with the dip slathered over bread and covered in cheese.
Dip + bread + cheese = mouth happiness.

This looks delicious Brandy!
Thank you Jamie! Anything smothered in cheese is bound to be delicious 🙂
Oh thank you thank you for confessing this! I have never had fresh artichokes because I don’t even know where to start… Glad it’s not just me 🙂 I have done them frozen and canned though and I would absolutely love them in this bread. Something tells me it’s completely irresistible!
I’m glad I’m not the only clueless fresh artichoke person out there 🙂
I tried making fresh artichokes once and it was a DESIRED so only frozen or canned for me! This bread looks SEROIUSLY addictively awesome!
Addictive is correct! I had to tell myself to walk away…haha 🙂
This looks amazing. I am totally down with using canned artichokes but also have no interest in figuring out how to use the whole ones – they’re so weird!
Hahaha thank you! I agree, too weird looking for me. I just don’t get it.
Ermahgerd, this looks amazing!
Hahaha thanks! I say ermahgerd probably more than a grown woman should. I’m glad I’m not the only one 🙂
I’d eat the s*** out of that.
Best. Comment. Ever!
This looks so dang delicious!!
Thank you Katrina! It was very delicious!
First of all, I haven’t been over here in a while and I just scrolled through your recent post and holy cow I want one of everything! And especially this bread! I think I might make it for dinner tonight. I love this!
Welcome back 🙂 Hope you like the bread! I couldn’t stop eating it…haha
Haha I’ve only used fresh ones once before and it was kind of a disaster. I am loving on them lately and this is one way I have never had them – so INSANELY delicious looking!
That is exactly what I’m afraid of! It just seems like something that would be a complete disaster for me.
lol you crack me up. I’ve never cooked them fresh… I bought them once as a challenge for myself and I just let them go bad. 🙁 This bread sounds out of this world amazing.
I always see them and think “oh I should give them a try” but I’m pretty sure I would just let them rot too..haha 🙂
