Bread Ring Pizza Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, and the ricotta, sour cream and cream cheese. Blend until smooth, with no lumps of cream cheese. Spread the mixture into an even layer in the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish.
• Mix together the fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully spread the mixture over the cheese layer so that it evenly coats the cheese and you don't see any white. Top with the onions, bell peppers and sliced olives. Sprinkle the veggies with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
• Bake for 25 minutes; then turn the oven to 450 degrees F and bake until brown and crusty around the edges, another 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve with crusty bread.

Steps:

• For the pizza dip: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the ricotta, cream cheese, sour cream, oregano and 1 cup of the mozzarella in a bowl and mix. Add to the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish. Top with the marinara sauce and remaining mozzarella. Scatter the pepperoni, olives and green peppers over the top. Set aside.
• For the garlic toast: Put the French bread on a baking sheet cut-side up. Mix the butter, oregano and garlic in a bowl, then spread the butter mixture on top of the French bread halves.
• Bake both the dip and bread until the bread is golden and the dip is hot and bubbly, about 12 minutes.
• Slice the bread into sticks or wedges. Garnish the dip with basil and serve alongside the bread.

Steps:

• Coat a 10 inch (25cm) oven-safe skillet with olive oil. Place the dinner roll dough balls in a ring around the skillet. Cover and let rise until thawed and doubled in size.
• In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, parmesan, romano, mozzarella, sour cream, artichoke hearts, spinach, garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes.
• Once the dough has thawed, uncover and scoop the dip into the center of the skillet.
• Brush the rolls with olive oil, and top with an additional sprinkle of cheese (optional).
• Bake in a preheated oven at 375˚F (190˚C) for 25 minutes.
• (If the bread browns too quickly, lower oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) or cover the bread with a ring of foil). Remove and let cool slightly before serving.
• Enjoy!
