Equipment
- Yarn or string
- 2 Plastic horses or more if you want!
Ingredients
- 1 sourdough round bread boule unsliced
- 6 slices of white bread
- 8 ounces dip your favorite
Instructions
- The night before you will serve the dip slice a thin layer off of the top of the boule.
- Pull out the bread, leaving a 1 inch thick wall.
- Save the bread for breadcrumbs or whatever.
- Allow the boule to stand uncovered overnight - this helps the soft bread inside to get a little crusty and it won't soak up so much dip when you fill it.
- Shortly before serving toast 4 pieces of bread.
- Carefully cut a large circle out of each for the wheels.
- Toast the other 2 pieces of bread and cut out 2 small circles from each for the hubs.
- Place the hollow boule on a platter.
- Place a small circle on a large circle of toast and push a toothpick through the circles and attach them to the boule for wheels.
- Place the horses at the "front" of the carriage.
- Tie string around the horses and attach the ends to each side of the coach with toothpicks.
- Add the dip to the hollowed out center.
- Add parsley, chives, edible flowers or whatever you like as garnish.
Notes
Storage:
Leftovers? Remove the dip from the bread bowl and refrigerate in an airtight container. Toss the bread - it will just get soggy.
Tips:
- You can bake hot dips right in the bread bowl - just be ready to tent the bowl with aluminum foil if the bread starts to brown too much.
- Try using a dark rye bread for the wheels for more contrast.
- Dips need to be thick enough that they don't soak through the bread. An olive oil dip won't work. Think cream cheese, sour cream, etc.
