Skillet rolls with Spinach Artichoke Dip


Skillet rolls with Spinach Artichoke Dip
2 ¾ - 3 c. all-purpose flour
1 packet yeast
1 t. salt
1 c. milk
2 T. vegetable oil or melted butter
4 c. fresh baby spinach (or ½ of 10 oz frozen spinach thawed and drained)
2/3 c chopped artichoke hearts (about ½ can)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ c. sour cream
½ c. mayo
1 garlic clove, minced
½ t. hot sauce
¼ c. Paremsan cheese
1/4 c. mozzarella + more for topping
Salt and pepper

To make bread dough (you can use pre-made dough if you want): Add two cups of the flour to a large bowl. Add salt and combine. Warm milk to lukewarm but not hot. Stir in yeast and let stand a few minutes. Add yeast mixture to the flour along with vegetable oil or melted butter. Mix and add additional flour in ¼ c. increments until a smooth dough forms. You will have to knead for awhile until smooth. Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, place fresh spinach in a bowl with 1 T. of water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute. Leave covered and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain spinach well. Add spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, garlic, hot sauce, and cheeses to a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until needed.

When dough has risen, use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 16 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball by rolling lightly. Generously butter an 8-12 inch cast-iron skillet. Find a bowl that is about 5 ½ inches across the top and place it side down in the center of the skillet. Arrange the dough balls around the outside of the skillet. Brush dough generously with melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise about 30 minutes. Pre-heat the oven to 375. Remove bowl from center of the skillet and spoon the prepared dip into the center space. Sprinkle the top of the dip with additional mozzarella/parmesan. Bake about 30 minutes until rolls are golden and sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven, top rolls with a bit of mozzarella and return to the oven. Turn the oven to broil and watch until the cheese and dip is browned. Careful for the hot skillet handle!
