Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Pitted black or green olives, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, milk, and melted butter. Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
In the meantime, make the filling by mixing together the chopped olives, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large rectangular sheet, roughly 12x18 inches.
Spread the olive filling evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Starting at one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam to seal and place the log seam-side down.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the log crosswise into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion.
Cover the pinwheels loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pinwheels are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the pinwheels cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
