Ingredients

• 1 batch Gluten-free bread dough
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On a clean surface lightly dusted with gluten-free flour, roll out the gluten-free bread dough into a rectangle roughly 12x16 inches.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, pepper, fresh basil, and parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Fold the cooled spinach and garlic mixture into the cheese mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Carefully roll up the dough starting from one of the longer sides, like a jelly roll, and pinch the seam to seal.

Step 9

Place the rolled dough seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the top with a little olive oil or additional beaten egg for a golden crust, if desired.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
