Ingredients
- 1 large round loaf of bread (sourdough or boule)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 8 black olives
- 2 cups dip of choice (like creamy spinach, cheese, or guacamole)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the top off the round bread loaf and scoop out the insides.
- Brush the hollowed-out bread bowl with melted butter to promote browning.
- Fill the bread bowl with your prepared dip, ensuring it is heaping gently.
- Create the spider by rolling the reserved bread into small balls for the body and legs.
- Assemble the spider by attaching the legs to the body and placing it on top of the dip.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
Notes
Use a thick crusted loaf to hold the dip well; avoid overfilling to prevent sogginess.
