Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup vegan cream cheese
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Meanwhile, sauté the fresh spinach in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until wilted. Drain and set aside.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix the vegan cream cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped basil, chopped parsley, black pepper, and the sautéed spinach until well combined.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Roll the dough tightly from the longer side into a log, pinch the seams to seal, and tuck the ends under.

Step 11

Place the stuffed bread on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, and let it rise for an additional 15 minutes.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
