The method
Step by step
- 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
About 5 min
- 2
Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the top 1-2 inches off the sourdough loaf to create a lid.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Hold the knife parallel to the counter to get an even cut.
- 3
Hollow out the inside of the bread base, leaving a sturdy wall about 1-inch thick all around.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Use a combination of your fingers and a spoon to scoop out the bread without piercing the crust.
- 4
Tear the removed bread pieces and the bread lid into bite-sized chunks for dipping and set aside.
About 2 min
- 5
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped dried beef, green onion, green bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother dip.
- 6
Stir with a spatula until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
About 1 min
- 7
Spoon the beef dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl, filling it completely.
About 1 min
- 8
Place the filled bread bowl onto a large sheet of aluminum foil.
- 9
Wrap the entire loaf tightly in the foil.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: A tight wrap will trap steam and keep the bread crust from becoming too hard.
- 10
Place the wrapped loaf on a baking sheet and bake for 90 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly.
About 1 hr 30 min
- 11
Carefully unwrap the hot loaf and serve immediately with the reserved bread pieces for dipping.
