Step-by-Step Instructions for Octopus Bread Bowl and Dip
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather a greased baking sheet. Roll out a tube of bread dough into a large circle for the head of the octopus.
  2. Cut the second tube of dough into 8 equal portions, roll each into long, thin 'legs', and arrange them around the circle for the head.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut 4 diagonal slashes across the top of the head-shaped dough to give the octopus personality.
  4. Bake the octopus-shaped dough in the preheated oven for about 26 minutes until golden-brown.
  5. Allow the Octopus Bread Bowl to cool slightly, then cut a circular opening in the top and scoop out the soft bread inside.
  6. Heat up your choice of dip and pour it into the hollowed-out head of your Octopus Bread Bowl, then serve immediately.
