The Recipe How-To
After gathering all the ingredients, preheat the oven to 350°F. Then, prepare the bread bowl by cutting a circle in the center of the round loaf of Hawaiian bread, and removing most of the inner bread until you have a hollow bowl. Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the bread.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients including 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise, 10 oz frozen spinach, and 1 package Lipton soup mix. Mix well until even and homogenous.
Then, spoon the mixture into the hollow bread bowl, spreading it evenly throughout. Sprinkle two tablespoons of dried parsley flakes on top.
Wrap the Hawaiian bread dip in aluminum foil and bake for one hour in preheated oven or until golden brown. You can also leave it unwrapped if you prefer a slightly crunchier surface.
When ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional dried parsley flakes and some shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Finally, use chunks of leftover Hawaiian bread to dip into this delicious dip or any other dipping alternatives of your choice such as garlic bread or dinner rolls. Enjoy your Hawaiian Bread Dip, which is perfect for parties and gatherings!
Substitutions and Variations
One of the great things about this Hawaiian Bread Dip recipe is that there’s a lot of room for personalization. Here are some substitutions and variations that you can try:
– Spice things up: Add a bit of heat to your Hawaiian Bread Dip by mixing in some red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
– Veggie swap: For the spinach dip version, you can swap out frozen spinach for canned artichokes or chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
– Beefless option: If you’re not a fan of dried beef or just want to reduce the amount of meat in your diet, consider using veggie bacon bits, finely chopped mushrooms, or another plant-based ingredient as a replacement.
– Cheese choices: Any type of shredded cheese that melts well will work in this recipe. Try swapping the cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even Parmesan cheese for something new.
– Dipping vehicles: While Hawaiian bread is certainly delicious, don’t feel limited to only dipping it in this recipe. Try using tortilla chips, raw veggies like carrots and celery, garlic bread or even sliced baguette for a different texture.

When it’s time to reheat leftovers or premade dip, there are a couple of options. One way is to use the oven by preheating it at 350°F (175°C) and placing the dip in an oven-safe dish for about 10-15 minutes or until heated throughout. Just be sure to remove all plastic wrap before popping it into the oven.
Alternatively, you can reheat the dip in a microwave-safe dish on high heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally until evenly heated throughout. Keep in mind that microwaves may produce uneven heating and crust formation.
To keep your dip fresh during storage periods or reheating, avoid using metal utensils when mixing or serving them as they may cause discoloration on your dish.

Tips for Perfect Results
Achieving exceptional taste and texture is a quality that sets an excellent dish apart from its mediocre counterpart. In making Hawaiian Bread Dip, adopting some simple tips could help you elevate the profile of your creation.
One useful tip to keep in mind when making this recipe is to allow enough time for the dip to chill in the bread bowl. Before filling the bread bowl with the dip, place it in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes. This will help solidify the dip’s ingredients, giving them a chance to settle and bind together, which makes dipping into it more manageable.
Another tip to consider is drying out the spinach completely before adding it into the dip. Frozen spinach contains lots of water in it, so be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture completely, either by wrapping it in paper towels or using a mesh strainer. This ensures that no excess water ends up being wasted when you mix everything together.
Furthermore, you can experiment with various cheeses than what’s prescribed in the recipe before settling on your preference. Although shredded cheddar cheese is a classic, feel free to substitute it with other types or blend them to get different flavor combinations.
You can also double-check your measurements and ingredients- spoonfuls of excess mayonnaise or sour cream, for example, could significantly alter the overall taste of the dip, and not always for the better.
Seasoning also plays a vital role in this recipe. Beau Monde seasoning is used to add flavor and depth to this Hawaiian bread dip. If you don’t have any beau monde seasoning readily available, try making your own by combining cinnamon, ground cloves, allspice, and nutmeg in equal proportions. Its resulting taste and aroma would be somewhat like Beau Monde seasoning.
Finally, avoid using stale Hawaiian bread as it might compromise your dip’s taste and texture; instead, use freshly baked bread from your local bakery or bake it yourself.
Employing these simple tips could improve the overall texture and taste of your Hawaiian Bread Dip, leaving guests asking for more every time!
