Preparation

How to prepare Quick Christmas Danubio

To make the quick Christmas Danube, first, take care of the spinach: wash the leaves, then heat a drizzle of oil with garlic in a pan and add the spinach 1. Cover with a lid 2 and let them wilt over high heat for about 5 minutes, then remove the garlic and turn off the heat 3.

Transfer the cooked spinach to the mixer bowl 4 and blend them until you get a smooth and well-chopped mixture 5. Cut the cheese into small cubes 6.

Chop the sun-dried tomatoes drained from the preservation oil 7. Now pour the flour into a large bowl, add the spinach puree 8 and the egg yolk 9.

Start kneading by hand and pour the milk gradually 10, 1 tbsp of oil 11, and the instant yeast for savory preparations 12.

Finally, incorporate the salt 13 and finish kneading on a work surface 14. Form a homogeneous dough ball 15.

Divide the dough with a dough scraper 16 into 11 equally-sized balls 17. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin to form a disc 18.

Fill each disc with cheese cubes and tomatoes 19, then close the dough into a pouch 20 to regain the shape of a ball 21.

Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to form a small tree 22. Brush the surface with milk 23 and garnish with mixed seeds 24.

Bake in a static oven preheated to 356°F for 30 minutes. Once cooking is complete, remove the Danube from the oven 25, place it on a cutting board, and garnish with sun-dried tomatoes and grated salted ricotta 26. The quick Christmas Danube is ready to be served 27.
