Video Transcript

"Hi. This is Rich Buccola here in New York City and today on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make an artichoke and roasted pepper dip. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet our serving bowl. Yes, a beautiful, beautiful round piece of bread I got from the famous, world famous beressi bread. Probably the best bread in the world. And I'm telling you that because it is. But we're going to just show you how I serve my dip. I actually serve it right here in this bread. What's great about this bread is you can actually just follow the circle of the crust going around. And what I do is just take a paring knife and I'm just going to slice in, just going all the way around my whole bread, like so. Once we get to the other end, we're done. And what I do is, I just pop this right off. Be careful and you'll see that's, I'm going to hollow this out a little bit with our fingers. I don't throw away the top, I actually use that for the dipping sauce as well. We're going to cut that up. Just hollow this out a little bit and you'll see how it's beginning to be our bowl for our dip and I put my dip right in here and that's how I serve it. Alright so I have my cap and before we can close this clip, what I do is I just cut about one inch this way and I'm going to make one inch cubes with this. And this could be a nice dipping, dipping bread as well, you know? And we'll put that on the tray. So cut it that way and then you know just cut your squares this way. About one inch and you see you cut all this up and you have these."
