Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and instant yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil. Add the yeast mixture once activated.

Knead the Dough

Mix the ingredients until a dough forms and knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the good quality cheese, cooked spinach, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

Shape the Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about ¼ inch thick.

Fill the Dough

Place a generous spoonful of the cheese and spinach filling in the center of each dough circle.

Seal the Dough

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal tightly.

Prepare for Baking

Place the filled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Gooda Good!
