Ingredients

• 1 loaf refrigerated pizza dough
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a Bundt pan or round baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
3. Fold in the mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped spinach, and chopped artichokes until evenly mixed.
4. Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle and cut it into approximately 2-inch squares.
5. Place a spoonful of the spinach artichoke mixture in the center of each dough square.
6. Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to form sealed dough balls.
7. Arrange the filled dough balls seam-side down in the prepared pan until all are used.
8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is puffed and golden brown.
9. Allow the bread to cool for 5 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving platter.
10. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Helpful Tips

• Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach to prevent soggy bread.
• Pat the artichokes dry before chopping.
• Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Brush the baked bread with garlic butter for extra flavor.
• Serve with warm marinara or ranch dressing for dipping.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 325°F oven for about 10 minutes or in the air fryer until warm and crispy.
