Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.75 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and sugar.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth, and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough is resting, chop the fresh spinach and sauté in a pan with a bit of olive oil until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped basil, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Add the sautéed spinach and mix well.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle of approximately 12x8 inches.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a cylinder. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.

Step 11

Place the bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top of the bread with the beaten egg.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium cheesy spinach and herb stuffed bread.
