Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour, 1/3 cup self-raising flour, and 1/3 cup white rice flour.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup water, and 2 tbsp olive oil until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it's manageable. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest while you prepare the filling.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the finely chopped 1/2 onion until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced 2 garlic cloves and continue to sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped 4 cups fresh spinach and cook until the spinach wilts down and any excess moisture evaporates. Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once cooled, transfer the spinach mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1 tsp tomato puree. Mix well to combine.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares of approximately 4 inches by 4 inches.
- Place a spoonful of the cheese and spinach filling onto the center of each dough square.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges together with a fork to seal them tightly.
- Arrange the assembled triangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the triangles are golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the triangles to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious gluten-free cheese and spinach triangles warm or at room temperature!
Tips:
- Make sure your spinach is well-drained after washing to avoid excess moisture which can make the dough soggy.
- When rolling out the dough, use a well-floured surface to prevent sticking.
- Cut the triangles evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Serve them warm for the best texture and flavor experience, although they are also delicious when cooled.
- Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg to the spinach mixture for a subtle but flavorful twist.
Whether you're serving them as a party appetizer or a mid-afternoon snack, these gluten-free cheese and spinach triangles are sure to be a hit. The combination of flavors and textures is simply delightful, making them a go-to option for anyone looking to enjoy a tasty yet health-conscious treat.
