Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix Filling Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 8

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

  3. 9

    Fill Dough

    Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 10

    Fold and Seal

    Carefully fold the dough over to create a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal securely.

  5. 11

    Bake

    Transfer the filled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 12

    Combine Sauce Ingredients
