Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
- Add warm water and olive oil. Mix and knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 8–10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate bowl, mix the spinach, chopped artichokes, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a rope and shape into a ring.
- Place the rings on the prepared baking sheet and press the spinach artichoke mixture generously into the center and over the top of each ring.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the rings are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve warm or allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Ensure spinach is well-drained to prevent soggy dough.
- Use a stand mixer with a dough hook to ease kneading.
- Try adding red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Rings can be made ahead and reheated briefly before serving.
