[farfallina]

Ingredients:

Dough:
100g walnuts
250g milk
20g fresh yeast
5g sugar
500g Manitoba flour or strong bread flour
10g salt

Filling:
50g parmesan, roughly chopped
100g butter
350g frozen spinach
200g smoked salmon

Top:
Milk
Sesame
Poppy seeds or nigella seeds

Preparation:

    Grate parmesan 10 seconds on Speed 9 and set aside.

    Chop walnuts for 3 seconds on Speed 7. Set aside.

    Put milk and sugar in TM Bowl, warm for 1 minute at 37°C on Speed 2.
    Add yeast and mix for 10 seconds on Speed 4.
    Sift in flour. Add walnuts and salt. Knead for 3 minutes.

    Transfer the dough into an oiled large bowl. Cover with plastic film and let it rise for at least 1 hour.

    Cook, drain and squeeze well water out of spinach. Sautee a couple of minutes with butter. Remove from heat. Add grated parmesan, mix, adjust the salt and let it cool at room temperature. 

    Roll the dough with rolling pin around 30 x 70 cm

    Spread spinach over.

    Place salmon slices over the spinach

    Start rolling from the long end, rolling into a log shape. Unite the two ends forming a ring shape.
    Transfer it into baking tray that is previously covered with baking paper. Place a small bowl at the center so that it wouldn’t lose its shape while rising. Make diagonal slits.

    Cover with a clean damp tea towel and let it rise for 1 hour.

    Brush your bread with a little milk. Decorate with sesame and poppy seeds

    Bake in preheated oven at 200°C for 15-25 minutes. (Well, in the original recipe it says 15 minutes but it took me 25 minutes. After 20 minutes I removed the bowl and baked other 5 minutes)


Enjoy...

Thanks farfallina - the cookaround photos with step-by-step pictures are great.

Really easy when you see it in steps.

I have so many different recipes from so many different sources
"Io e il mio Bimby" recipe book (Italian EDC)
I have zillions of Italian recipes that I downloaded from internet
My old recipes, Turkish or Italian books and magazines
Cookaround forum and of course our Forum Thermomix
I never post any recipe which I haven't tried yet to my blog or here! Because as you know that sometimes they don't work as they are told!

The nice thing about cookaround is that they put the pictures of the whole procedure as well. I must confess that I am a bit lazy about taking the photos of every step 
So, I will post also their link together with my blog's for the recipes that I got from them so that you could see better.
