Hot Clam Dip

2 8oz pkg. cream cheese
2 6oz. cans minced clams (drain only 1 use the other with juice)
½ bunch fresh parsley
1 tsp. garlic
20 shakes of Tabasco Hot Sauce, or Cholula, Tapatio
2 loaves Pazano bread (Kneaders)

Cut the top off of one loaf like you would when carving a pumpkin. Then scoop out middle to create a bread bowl. Cut the 2nd loaf into chunks for dipping.

Combine ingredients and pour into bread bowl, wrap really good in foil and bake at 350 for 2 hrs. The presentation of dip in bread bowl is great but I have also baked the clam mixture in an oven safe baking bowl and then just cut up bread for dipping. Delicious!!

This recipe comes from Chantal Tom. I love this and request it often at our get- togethers.
