BAKED GOAT CHEESE SPINACH DIP

Steps:

• Cut out the top of your loaf, cutting in about 1 1/2 inches deep, then peel off the top and remove the centre. You just want to create a pocket to put your dip, so make sure you don't cut down too deep into the loaf, but deep enough that the dip won't flow out of the bread.
• Save the bread you cut out for dipping. Just cut it into dipping sized chunks.
• Add the spinach mixture to the space in your bread bowl, then wrap your bread dip in tin foil, and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until the mixture is bubbling.
