Ingredients
- 1 round sourdough bread loaf
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned, drained, and chopped)
- 1 cup bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Using a serrated knife, make diagonal cuts across the top of the sourdough loaf, being careful not to cut all the way through. Rotate the loaf and make another set of diagonal cuts, creating a diamond pattern.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the minced garlic. Using a pastry brush, evenly spread the garlic butter mixture into the cuts of the bread.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, crumbled bacon, shredded mozzarella, and shredded Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Stuff the artichoke and bacon mixture into the cuts of the sourdough loaf, making sure it is evenly distributed.
Step 6
Wrap the stuffed loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, unwrap the foil to expose the top of the bread and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 8
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy pulling apart the cheesy, savory goodness!
