Tomatoes + Green chilies — Tomatoes and green chilies enliven the recipe while imparting more flavor and color to it. Garlic powder — Subtle zest added to the corn dip with garlic powder helps elevate the overall flavor of the recipe. Sour Cream + Cream Cheese — The cheesy creaminess and subtle tang that makes this corn dip completely irresistible comes from sour cream and cream cheese! These ingredients create a creamy base and thick consistency for the dip. Full-fat sour cream is best for the creamiest dip. Avoid low-fat sour cream, making the dip runny and not as delectable. Mayonnaise — It renders the corn dip a creamy texture and subtle flavor. Cheese — Shredded cheese adds creaminess and tons of flavor to the corn dip. You can use the cheese of your choice. I have used a mix of Colby & Monterey Jack. Onions — Finely chopped red onions are added for maximum flavor and a delightful crunch. Chili flakes — For that delightfully knocking punch! Instant Yeast — I have added Instant Yeast to the dough. You can add active dry Yeast, but instant Yeast saves the rising time. Sugar — A subtle sweetness from sugar adds more flavor to the bread. Unsalted Butter — Butter adds the desired amount of moisture to the bread to make it fluffier and richer in texture. Milk — Creates more luscious and softer bread with a velvety texture and tender crumb.
Variations of cheese — I have used Colby and Monterey Jack cheese to make this lip-smacking Pull-Apart Holiday Wreath Bread with Corn Dip recipe. Cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, or Mexican cheese also makes a great choice. So, you can use any of these. Veggies for extra delight — Add vegetables like mushrooms, black olives, banana peppers, and Jalapeno peppers to make this cheesy corn dip more nutritious and scrumptiously delicious. Baking alternatives — A Cast-iron skillet makes a great alternative to the oven for baking this cheesy corn dip. You can use a 17-inch cast-iron skillet for this purpose. Turn it gluten-free — Serve this creamy, cheesy corn dip with veggie sticks, gluten-free crackers, or tortilla chips for a gluten-free treat. Alternate for fresh bread — Homemade fresh bread can be replaced with store-bought pizza dough or frozen rolls to make the gorgeous pull-apart wreath bread that makes a delicious combo with the cheesy corn dip. Alternatives to butter — I have used unsalted butter to make my wreath bread. You can use olive, canola, sunflower, or even melted coconut oil for the bread dough.
Bake the bread just right — Avoid over-baking the bread, as it will turn the bread dry and crumbly. To fix the sticky bread dough — If you feel the dough is a little sticky, add a tablespoon of flour and knead the dough again. Parchment paper eases the de-molding — Lining the greased baking tray with parchment paper eases the slide-out further. For soft dough — Kneading helps enhance the elasticity of the dough, which makes perfectly soft and fluffy bread. So, please consider this step as important.
Tortilla chips Celery Cucumbers Carrots Bell peppers Toasted bread Baked pita bread Bagel chips Breadsticks All kinds of savory crackers – saltine crackers or wheat thins. These are my kid’s favorite.
