How to Make Spinach and Cheese Bread

For the dough:

Add the ingredients for the dough to the dough mixer bowl. Mix until you have a dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

For the filling:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the spinach, stir in and cook for 3 minutes.
Transfer it to a bowl and add the cottage cheese and the egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until even and set aside.
Dust the work surface with flour and place the dough on it. Cut it in half using a plastic knife.
Take one half of the dough and flatten it using a rolling pin. Evenly spread 1/2 of the spinach-cheese mixture on it. Roll. Do the same with the other half of the dough and the remaining mixture.
Place the two rolls side by side and braid them together. Carefully transfer to a roomy loaf pan. Coat with whisked yolk and bake for 50 minutes at 400⁰F/200⁰C.
