This Dip will definitely be a hit at your Holiday Parties, it was something new and fun to try. Original recipe calls for it to be made in a Cast Iron Skillet but I used 2 pie plates instead but cant wait to try it on the BBQ this summer in a Cast Iron Pan.
Accessories: KoMo Mill for fresh flour and Ankarsrum Mixer with Roller and Scraper
Quantity: 1 Large skillet or 2 eight inch pie plates
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Ingredients for Dough Balls
- 6 cups flour
- 4 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tsp fine salt
- 2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Ingredients for Dip:
- 2 – 8 oz blocks cream cheese
- 1 cup Ranch Pourable Dressing
- 1/2 cup Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Cheddar Cheese for topping
- 2 cups cooked Chicken Breasts chopped fine or 2 cans chunk chicken breast
Add the milk, salt and oil to bowl. Blend. Slowly add approx. 1/3 of the flour and then the yeast. Add remaining flour till a soft dough is formed, may require a bit less or more depending on the flour you are using. Knead dough for approx. 8 minutes till a soft ball is formed. Let rise till double in size. Now remove dough from bowl and divide in half if using 2 pans. Divide each of these into 20 – 24 balls, I like them smaller for this recipe. Space these around pan just that they are touching as shown in the picture below.
Place a bowl inside covered in foil or greased. Cover and allow to rise about 30 minutes till puffy. In the mean time melt the cream cheese and add the Dressing, Sriracha Sauce, Chicken and first amount of grated cheddar. Use a fork to break apart the chicken pieces if using canned. Once cheese is melted and mixture is heated through put into pie plate where bowl had sat and sprinkle with remaining cheddar or could substitute Parmesan. Place pans into oven and bake approx. 30 minutes or till bread is done and golden. Once removing from oven allow to sit for 5 – 10 minutes to set and then serve warm. If not enough bread bits can also serve with Tortilla Chips or Vegetables.
