I really wanted to make a spinach pie this season, but when I saw the quick version I gave up making a classic one, and I did well!

It is very good, soft, fluffy and in addition - very fast, the spinach is put raw on top and that's about it - it doesn't lose its taste and aroma at all. It's like a pizza with a fluffier top, I also added a little feta cheese in addition to yellow cheese, but it's not mandatory.

At the last step I put a section, it is more representative :)

Ingredients

Metric US

●

Warm water

220 ml

●

White flour

200 g

●

Semolina flour

100 g

●

Active dry yeast

1 tsp

●

Sugar

1.5 tbsp

●

Salt

1.5 tsp

●

Olive oil

1 tbsp

plus a little oil for the filling

●

Spinach

500 g

I picked spinach - 500g - but after cleaning about half of it remained

●

Yellow cheese

150 g

plus a little feta cheese as desired

Step by step

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and sugar, leave for 15 minutes until it starts to foam.

Step 2

Then add the olive oil, salt ...

Step 3

... gray ...

Step 4

and flour.

Step 5

Mix well with a spatula or spoon, it will be a soft and sticky dough - leave it like this, do not knead more.

Cover the bowl with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes.

Step 6

After this time, take out the dough on the table sprinkled with flour and make it a little uniform, it should not be kneaded - just pass it through the flour so that you can work with it.

Step 7

Spread a round sheet about 6-7mm thick, put it in a tray greased with oil or spread with baking paper.

I used a 32cm round tray here, but it works well in a simple oven tray - the square one.

Step 8

We make the filling quickly - the spinach (washed and cleaned beforehand) is finely chopped, mixed with the grated cheese. Sprinkle with a little oil, possibly very little salt and pepper (if you add salted telemea do not add salt) - mix well.
