INGREDIENTS

For the starter:

60ml (1/4 cup) milk

60ml (1/4 cup) water

10g fresh yeast

90g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour

For the dough:

10g honey

Zest of 1 orange

620g (5 cups + 2 tbsp) all-purpose flour

140ml (1/2 cup) milk

140ml (1/2 cup) water

40g (1/4 cup) sugar

13g salt

80ml (1/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil

For the stuffing:

50g cooked spinach

60g ricotta

50g mushrooms

Cheese (cubed)

50g dried tomatoes

For brushing:

Egg yolk

Milk

METHOD

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, water, and fresh yeast, and mix until dissolved. Add the flour and stir until a smooth starter forms. Cover with cling film and set aside to rise for 1 hour.

2. In a small bowl, combine the honey and grated orange zest, then set aside to infuse.

3. In a mixing bowl, add the starter, flour, milk, water, sugar, honey-zest mixture, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. Start mixing with a spatula, then knead by hand until the dough comes together. Knead until smooth and compact. Cover with cling film and let it rise for 3 hours, or until doubled in volume.

4. Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air and divide it into 20 equal portions.

5. Mix the cooked spinach with ricotta. Chop the mushrooms and dried tomatoes, and cut the cheese into cubes for the fillings.

6. Flatten each dough ball, add a small amount of filling (spinach-ricotta, mushrooms-cheese, or tomatoes-cheese), then seal tightly into a ball. Arrange the balls close together in a greased round baking pan. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 1 hour, until puffy and touching.

7. Brush the dough balls with egg yolk mixed with milk. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 30 minutes.

8. Serve on a serving dish and enjoy.
