How to make Skillet Bread Four Cheese Spinach Dip

If making the dough from scratch start my making the dough and then prepare the spinach filling.

How to prepare the bread dough

To prepare the bread dough for the Skillet Bread Four Cheese Spinach Dip, start by stirring the yeast with sugar until it liquifies. Dissolve the yeast mixture in about ¼ cup (60 ml) of warm water. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the dissolved yeast, oil, and ¾ cup of warm water to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined, and then knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Next, place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it sit at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. This will allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in size.

Once the dough has risen, transfer it onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for a few seconds, and then divide it into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) cast iron skillet with butter, and also grease the outer side of a 5-inch (13 cm) diameter bowl. Place the greased bowl in the center of the skillet and arrange the dough balls along the outer edge of the skillet.

Brush the dough balls with melted butter, cover the skillet with plastic wrap, and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F (180C) and prepare the spinach filling.

How to prepare the spinach filling

In a bowl, combine cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add the chopped spinach, Mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onion, garlic, red pepper flakes (if desired), salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

Remove the bowl from the center of the skillet and fill the center of the skillet with the prepared spinach dip.

Brush the dough balls with melted butter and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.

Bake the skillet bread in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.
