Directions: Spinach Ricotta Sunflower Bread Recipe

STEP 1.To make the dough:
STEP 2.-Activate yeast first: Add lukewarm milk & water in a mixing bowl, dissolve sugar & then yeast. Stir till it dissolves & keep covered in a warm place for 10 minutes or till it froths up well.
STEP 3.-Combine the flour & salt in a large bowl. Add minced garlic & olive oil. Add activated yeast to flour mixture & mix until dough comes together. The dough should be slightly sticky. Add more water if required.
STEP 4.-Knead on kitchen surface using stretching movement of hand till a soft pliable dough is formed, 8-10 minutes.
STEP 5.-Grease a bowl with olive oil & turn the dough over so it is coated with the oil. Cover & let it rise for 1.5 hr or until it doubles in size.
STEP 6.-Make the filling:: squeeze out the excess water from boiled spinach well. Chop finely. Add it to a bowl along with other ingredients. Mix well.
STEP 7.-Shaping the flower:: Turn out onto a floured surface, punch out air.
STEP 8.Divide into 2 balls. Roll each out with a rolling pin & press using a plate of approx 9” dia as template. Trim using knife or pizza cutter to get a perfect circle. Transfer to a baking sheet.
STEP 9.-Place 2-3 tbsp of the filling in the centre & also along the edge leaving 1 cm like a doughnut shape.
STEP 10.-Place the other circle & using little water to seal, lightly pinch the edges together with your fingers.
STEP 11.-Place a glass over the central stuffing. Using a sharp knife first make cuts at 12 ,3 ,6 & 9 o’clock positions, then further each quarter into 3 & then each slice once more (1” wide ).
STEP 12.-Turn each 90• so that the filling faces upwards and the bread looks like a sunflower.
STEP 13.-Cover and keep for another 30 mins in s warm place.
