Start Cooking
Make the Swirls
Yield: 15 swirls
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet.
-
In a large bowl combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add olive oil and water and knead well for five minutes, until mixture forms a ball that is slightly sticky to touch. Cover dough and let rise for 45 minutes.
-
Sprinkle a clean countertop with flour and place the dough on it. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12- x 8-inch rectangle. Take a fork and make fork pricks throughout the dough to prevent the dough from rising too much during baking.
-
Spread one of the fillings over dough (recipes follow) and roll up jelly-roll style, starting with one of the longer sides of the rectangle. Make sure seam is placed on the bottom of the pan, to ensure the roll stays closed.
-
Place rolled up dough in freezer for 30 minutes, so the dough will slightly harden and be easier to slice. Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into approximately 15 slices and place on prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake pizza or garlic za’atar swirls for 25 minutes. Bake creamy spinach ricotta swirls for 30 minutes.
