Tips & Substitutions

If you prefer more heat, add some diced jalapeños. This dip is reminiscent of American recipes using creamy bases, making it a crowd-pleaser at parties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture and fill the hollowed bread up to a day in advance. Just wrap it tightly in foil and refrigerate. When ready to serve, simply bake it according to the instructions, adding a few extra minutes if it's coming straight from the fridge.
What kind of bread can I use if I can't find Hawaiian bread?
If Hawaiian bread isn’t available, you can use any soft round bread such as challah or even a sourdough loaf. Just ensure the bread is sturdy enough to hold the dip without falling apart.
Can I make this dip vegetarian?
Absolutely! To make it vegetarian, simply omit the ham and consider adding extra vegetables like spinach or artichokes for added flavor and texture. You can also use a meat substitute if desired, but the dip is delicious without it.
