Spinach Bread with Cheese for Easter
A rolled yeast bread filled with spinach dough and cubes of feta cheese, scored and baked until golden - a savory Easter loaf.
Ingredients
| 150 g | frozen spinach | |
| 500 g | flour | |
| 14 g | dry yeast | |
| 1 tsp | 5 ml | sugar |
| 1/2 tsp | 2.5 ml | salt |
| 75 g | margarine | |
| 1 | egg | |
| 400 g | feta cheese |
Instructions
Thaw the spinach. In a large bowl sift the flour together with the yeast, sugar and salt. Melt the margarine. Put the thawed spinach in a measuring cup and top up with water to 350 ml. Pour it into the flour together with the margarine and add the egg. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Leave it in a warm place to prove until it has doubled in volume. Roll the dough out into a 40x40 cm square. Sprinkle the top with feta (cow's milk cheese) cut into cubes. Roll it up into a log and place it in a baking tray. Make cuts along the surface with a sharp knife. Heat the oven to 200 C. Bake for about 50-60 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.
