Spinach Snails

The perfect spinach snails recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

dough

  • 450 g Flour (wheat 550 or spelled 630)
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 Pck Dry yeast
  • 250 ml Lukewarm water (or 1/2 and 1/2 water and milk)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt

filling

  • 2 tbsp Oil or clarified butter
  • 1 medium sized Onion
  • 2 Toes Garlic
  • 450 g Spinach (fresh, frozen as you want)
  • 150 g Cream cheese
  • 250 g Grated cheese of your choice
  • Salt, pepper, nutmeg

The dough

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in a little water, then work with all the dough ingredients to form a smooth dough. Place in a large bowl and wrap in a fresh garbage bag (which are sterile) or put a lid on. It is important that the air can escape, but that the dough does not dry out. Let the dough rise for at least 6-8 hours.

The filling

  1. Finely dice the onion and sauté in oil / clarified butter until translucent. Squeeze the garlic and steam it until it no longer smells raw.
  2. Now add the spinach and simmer until the liquid has evaporated.
  3. Season well and fold in the cream cheese. Put aside and let it cool down.

Further processing

  1. Knead the dough briefly and then roll it out to the size of a tray with enough flour. Spread the spinach mixture on top and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
  2. Now roll up the whole thing over the long side and cut into 2-3 cm thick slices. Use a sharp knife, otherwise you will squeeze the filling out.
  3. Spread the snails on 2 baking sheets lined with baking paper and set aside, covered. While the oven is preheating, you will have some time to relax.
  4. Preheat the oven to 220 ° O / U heat (or 200 ° convection) and bake the spinach snails for about 15 minutes.
