While the dip is baking, cut a circle in the top of the bread, and scoop out the inside, to create a bread bowl.

Remove baked crab dip from the oven, and stir well.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed out loaf.
Place bread bowl and chunks of bread on a med. baking sheet, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
