Pretzel Bread Bowl with Cheese Dip image

Our town is known as Pretzel City-even our local sports teams are known as The Pretzels. I came up with this recipe for an annual local recipe contest. People couldn't believe that this delicious bread had pretzels in the mix! For variety, try using different flavors of pretzels. -Andrea Johnson, Freeport, Illinois

Bake until golden brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped, 30-35 minutes. Cool on pan 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely., For dip, mix sour cream, pepper jack cheese and dressing mix. Refrigerate until serving., To serve, cut one fourth off top of bread loaf. Hollow out bottom of loaf, leaving a 1/2-in.-thick shell. Cut removed bread into cubes. Fill bowl with dip. If desired, top with peppers and additional cheese. Serve dip with bread cubes and vegetables.
