Ingredients
360g All purpose / cake flour
5ml Salt
45ml Sugar (first batch)
5ml Sugar (second batch)
60ml Oil
10g Active dried yeast
250ml Warm water
1 Egg, beaten
125ml Chopped baby spinach
75g Feta cheese

Instructions
1. Chop the baby spinach and crumble the feta cheese into this and mix until combined.
2. In your mixer bowl, measure out the all purpose flour, salt and first batch of sugar.
3. Pour the warm water into a jug and add the yeast and second measure of sugar.
4. Whisk this together until the sugar is dissolved, cover the jug and allow this to activate for 15 minutes.
5. After this time the yeast mixture will be very frothy. Pour in the beaten egg and the oil.
6. Whisk this until totally combined.
7. Place your mixer bowl on your mixer with beater attached.
8. Pour in the liquids, close the mixer and run the machine on slow for 2 minutes.
9. Increase the speed to medium high and continue for a further 10 minutes.
10. Stop the machine. The dough will be shiny and smooth and stretchy like melted mozzarella.
11. Scrape the paddle down, close the machine and let the dough stand for 5 minutes undisturbed. If your machine
doesn't have a splash guard, cover the bowl with a towel.
12. After 5 minutes, add the spinach and feta cheese.
13. Close the machine and mix on high speed for 60 seconds.
14. Divide the soft dough equally between the holes of a 12 portion muffin pan.
15. Cover the pan with a large inverted roasting tin to rise for 20 minutes.
16. Brush the buns with a light coating of full cream milk and top each bun with a good pinch of finely shredded
Parmesan.
17. Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 200c or 400f for 12 to 15 minutes until well risen, golden brown and crispy
on top.
18. Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin pan for 20 minutes before turning them out
onto a cooling rack.
19. And there it is.....a supremely soft, airy, springly and tasty roll... the best dinner roll ever.
