Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Low-sodium ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Spinach (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Carrot (grated)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour with the olive oil and activated yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, gradually adding the remaining flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, grated carrot, minced garlic, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well and set aside.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the prepared filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges of the dough up and pinch them together to seal the filling inside.
Shape the filled dough into rolls and place them seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a damp towel and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with milk for a golden finish.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
