Goblin Bread

 

 

2 cups spinach, cooked or frozen

1/4 cup dried fruit 

1/2 cup warm milk

3 cups flour

2 tsp instant yeast

1 tsp salt

1-2 tsp herbs or spices as desired

2 Tbls oil

1 egg

 

If your spinach is frozen, warm it up before mixing. Combine the spinach, dried fruit, and milk in a blender and puree until smooth. Take out 1 1/2 cups of puree (add more milk if necessary).

 

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, salt, and seasoning. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with the oil.

 

Stir the spinach mixture and egg mixture into the flour mixture. Knead it thoroughly. It will seem dry but the spinach will continue releasing moisture as it is kneaded, so don't add more liquid until you're sure it needs it.

 

Put the dough in a bowl coated in oil, cover it, and let rise until doubled (about 45-60 minutes).

 

Lightly knead the dough, then form it into rolls and place on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled. While rising, preheat oven to  375 F.

 

Bake for 17-20 minutes.
