This sourdough is a family favorite.
Try this recipe to make 2 loaves in round pans, cut a lid from the top, hollow it out and fill it with spinach dip. Place the insides surrounding it on a serving platter for dipping. Instant hit!
You’ll notice in the pictures I’ve used the same recipe to make 1 very (VERY lol) large loaf, 2 loaves and 3 loaves. Personally I prefer 2 with this recipe.
That VERY large loaf, by the way, was baked in a 9 inch springform pan, just to give you an idea of how big that sucker is!!
