Ingredients
Pizza Dough:
1 (16-ounce) ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Spinach Artichoke Filling:
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped, 4 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing), chopped fresh parsley and crushed red pepper flakes for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in artichokes and spinach. Set aside.
- Assemble the bread: Divide pizza dough into 30 pieces. Flatten each piece, add filling, and enclose to form a ball. Arrange in a wreath shape on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Brush dough with olive oil and bake for 25–28 minutes until golden.
- Finish and serve: Brush with melted butter, garnish, and serve warm with marinara or extra dip.
Notes

- You can also use crescent roll dough or biscuit dough for a shortcut.
- This bread makes a festive centerpiece for holiday parties and is best served warm.
