Spiderdipbowl Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 10 1/2 dinner rolls or 7 Texas rolls into a ball for the body and place on sprayed baking sheet. Shape 1 1/2 dinner rolls combined or 1 Texas roll into an oval and place next to the body for head. Cover with sprayed plastic wrap and let rise until double. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. While body is baking roll 8 dinner rolls or 4 Texas rolls cut in half into eight, 10-inch ropes for legs. Dip legs in melted butter and then in parmesan cheese. Place on a sprayed baking sheet in a tall, curved shape to resemble spider legs. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 30-45 minutes. Remove wrap and bake at 350°F 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Cut an X with a knife in 4 places along both sides of the cooled body on the top edge. Push one end of a cooled, curved leg into each of the X's. Cut a circle out of the top of the body and pull out the bread, leaving bread around the inserted legs to stabilize them. Line the dip bowl with plastic wrap if desired. Fill the dip bowl with marinara sauce for dipping. Use black frosting gel to squeeze two beady eyes onto cooled spider head. Use more rolls to make extra legs for dipping, if desired.

Steps:

• *The night before, wrap frozen loaves tightly in plastic wrap and thaw in fridge overnight.
• Next day:.
• Form one loaf into a round ball. Place on a large cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• With other loaf, cut off end and form a small round ball (about one eighth of loaf) and place above body making the head.
• Horizontally, slice remaining dough into 8 strips and roll into ropes for legs.
• Place under head and upper body.
• Place raisins on head for eyes, making into a spider! *You can also add these after baking if preferred, or use red decorating gel or even sliced olives for eyes, also adding on after baking. Sometimes the raisins fall off during baking, or end up in an odd place!
• Brush with melted butter and cover with plastic wrap coated with non-stick spray. Allow to double in size. (About 2=3 hours.)Remove wrap, brush with eggwash (1 egg beaten with 1 Tbl. water), and bake in 350º oven for 25-30 minutes. Or til golden brown.
• Allow to cool on rack.
• Slice off top of body in a circle, and hollow out making a "bowl" for the dip. Line with lettuce (if desired)and spoon in your favorite dip such as salsa, melted cheese/nacho cheese dip, spinach or onion dip,etc., whatever you want.
• Surround with chips, crackers, mini pumpkins and gourds, plastic spiders, halloween cookies, just have fun!
• *If you want the spider's legs to point/bend up in the middle, just place a small ball of foil under center of each leg during rising and baking! :).
