Spinach and feta pull-apart bread is a delightful, savory dish perfect for gatherings, family dinners, or just a cozy night in. This easy-to-follow recipe uses wholesome ingredients like spinach and feta cheese, combined with a soft, doughy bread to create a delicious and visually stunning dish.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, and sugar.
- Gradually add in the water and olive oil while stirring until the mixture begins to come together into a dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- While the dough is rising, wash and roughly chop the spinach. Set it aside.
- Crumble the feta cheese into a small bowl and set it aside as well.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air.
- Place it back on the floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Evenly distribute the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese over the dough rectangle.
- Roll the dough up tightly from one of the long sides to form a log.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
- Arrange the slices, cut-side up, in a greased baking dish or on a lined baking sheet, slightly overlapping them.
- Cover the assembled dough with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Once the dough has risen for the second time, bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly in the baking dish before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your delicious spinach and feta pull-apart bread!
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active by proofing it in warm water with a pinch of sugar. If it doesn't foam up, your yeast may be inactive.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach after cooking to prevent a soggy dough.
- Crumble the feta cheese finely to ensure an even distribution throughout the bread.
- Knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten, which helps achieve a chewy and airy texture.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place to ensure it doubles in size.
- Brush the top with olive oil or melted butter before baking for a golden-brown crust.
With its delicious combination of spinach and feta cheese, this pull-apart bread is not only tasty but also an impressive addition to any meal. Taking the time to ensure your dough rises properly and your ingredients are well-prepared will result in a dish that’s both beautiful and satisfying.
