Dough Preparation
1. Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Let the 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 it doubles in size.
Filling Preparation
5. Prepare the Spinach
In a large skillet, sauté the minced garlic in a little olive oil until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
6. Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sautéed spinach, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Assembly and Baking
7. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
8. Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
9. Fill the Dough
Cut the dough into wedges (like a pizza). Place a generous spoonful of the filling at the wide end of each wedge and roll it towards the point to form a crescent shape.
10. Prepare for Baking
Place the filled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
11. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
12. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delectable 'The Wheel'!
