Remove the dough to a floured counter top and cover it. Allow it to set for 15 minutes. Now proceed to roll the dough three inch round sections about ¼ inches thick. Place these on a baking sheet that has been sprinkled with the cornmeal. Brush each of them with a little water and then sprinkle cornmeal on the tops.

Cover the tray and place it in a warm place to rise for 35 minutes. It should double in its size. Lastly grill each of these for 7 minutes per side until they are a golden brown color.

Feta and Spinach Twist

1 Cup of Water

1/2 Cup of Crumbled Feta Cheese

1 medium egg

1 1/2 tsp. of Olive Oil

3 3/4 Cup of bread flour

1 1/4 tsp of Yeast

Spinach Filling:

10 ounces of fresh Spinach

1 Tbsp of Melted Butter

1 finely minced Garlic Clove

1/4 Cup of Parmesan Cheese

2 tsp of Dried Oregano

1/2 Cup of Crumbled Feta cheese

1/4 Cup of sliced Olives

Topping:

1 egg white

1 Tbsp of Water

1 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese

Measure all of the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order listed above. Select the Dough cycle on the bread machine control panel. To make the filling wash the spinach being sure to dry it completely. Remove any stems. Wilt the spinach in a microwave at High temperature setting for 3 minutes. At the half time point stir carefully. After microwaving squeeze out any excess moisture in the spinach and let it cool. Should you decide to use the frozen spinach ensure that it is the chopped spinach package.

Take a medium size bowl and gently mix together butter, the spinach, garlic, oregano and the parmesan cheese. Remove your dough and place it on a floured counter top. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel to allow it to rise for 15 minutes. Next roll out the dough to an eighteen by fifteen rectangle.

Now spread the filling mixture onto the dough leaving ½ inch along the edges. Sprinkle the Feta cheese as well as the olives onto the dough. Roll tightly similarly to a jellyroll. Pinch the seams to seal it up. Cut it in half length wise using a pair of scissors to prevent crushing it. With the filling facing up proceed to twist the sides together as if you were twisting several strands of rope together. While you keep the filling sides facing up place the completed package in a lightly greased tube pan.

Cover the pan and allow it to rise in a warm area for 60 minutes. It should be double in size when finished. Brush the mixture with egg wash and then sprinkle parmesan cheese on the top. Bake it in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 55 minutes. When done the bread should have a hollow sound to it when tapped on bottom.
