Spinach and Artichoke Bread

I love spinach and artichoke dip and this recipe is like a spinach and artichoke dip that you don't need to dip. Genius! The melty cheesy topping is so good you'll find any reason to pull out this recipe - Super Bowl appetizers, tapas night, finger food. Heck, you don't need a reason to make this, you just need to make it. 'Nuff said.
