Ingredients

for the bread

200 g liquid sourdough starter (7.1 oz)

150 g water (5.3 oz)

100 g kefir (3.5 oz)

480–500 g Italian type 0 flour (16.9–17.6 oz)

15 g extra-virgin olive oil (0.5 oz)

For the spinach, walnut and gorgonzola filling

400 g fresh spinach (14.1 oz)

1 clove of garlic

100 g spicy Gorgonzola (3.5 oz)

4–5 walnuts

Black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

For the mixed herbs and cheese filling

300 g mixed greens (spinach and chicory) (10.6 oz)

150 g Fontal-style cheese (5.3 oz)

2–3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano PDO

1 clove of garlic

toasted pine nuts (optional)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Dissolve the levain in the water

Add the oil and kefir

Add the flour and knead until you get a soft and elastic dough.

Put the dough to rise for 3-4 hours in a bowl covered with plastic wrap and in a sheltered place

After rising in the fridge, remove the dough from the fridge and leave it at room temperature for a few hours (usually 4-5 hours).

In the meantime, prepare the filling:

Cook the spinach for about ten minutes in a pot with only the draining water and with the lid closed.

Take the spinach, drain them from the water they have produced, and sauté them in a pan with a clove of minced garlic and a little oil until they are dry.

Roll out the leavened dough on a pastry board and obtain a rectangle of dough that is not too thin (no less than 1 cm).

If necessary, flour the cutting board and the dough.

Spread the sautéed spinach, the cheese cut into small pieces, the walnuts, pine nuts and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese if provided, and a sprinkling of pepper on the pasta

Proceed with the rolling:

Place the roll on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, then close it to form the bread crown:

Before baking, let the crown rest for about half an hour.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Enjoy hot, warm or cold.

Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Garlic: has immune-stimulating properties, promotes liver function and the elimination of waste metabolites. It also has hypocholesterolemic, lipid-lowering, antiplatelet, hypotensive and hypoglycemic properties that promote cardiac function.

Flour: provides B vitamins (thiamine, niacin, riboflavin and folate), which are important for energy metabolism and the functioning of the nervous system.

Fontal, a cheese useful for the functioning of the liver for the contribution of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. The presence of tryptophan helps to counteract depression. Contribution of flora useful for the protection and proper functioning of the intestine.

Gorgonzola PDO: useful for the proper functioning of the liver. The presence of tryptophan helps to counteract depression

Kefir useful for liver function for the supply of probiotics also useful for the immune system. The presence of tryptophan helps to counteract depression.

Liquid sourdough starter (Licoli): improves metabolism and helps strengthen the immune system

Walnuts: Zinc carriers, an element favourable to the proper functioning of the immune system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids and vitamin E and rich in omega 3 fatty acids that fight the increase in blood pressure and the presence of bad cholesterol

Rich in magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids important for regulating mood and cognitive function

Extra virgin olive oil: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids

Parmigiano Reggiano PDO: useful for the proper functioning of the liver. The presence of tryptophan helps to counteract depression

Pepper (green, pink, black, gray, white): contains piperine, a powerful antioxidant; it improves insulin sensitivity by reducing cholesterol levels and activating metabolism. Recommended for people with cardiovascular problems.

Pine nuts: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. Also useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants

Rich in magnesium and omega 3 fatty acids important for regulating mood and cognitive function

Spinach: rich in carotenoids that support the immune system and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients; useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. They provide folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression
