How to Make Spinach And Parmesan Rustic Bread Bread Machine

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until light golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 5 ounces (140g) fresh spinach, stir well to combine, and cover tightly. Cook until spinach wilts (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir again and let the pan cool uncovered.
  6. Place the spinach mixture in the bread machine pan.
  7. Add 1 cup (240ml) warm water and 1 large egg.
  8. Sprinkle in 3 cups (375g) bread flour, ensuring it completely covers the liquid mixture.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup (40g) grated Parmesan cheese over the flour.
  10. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar in separate corners of the bread pan.
  11. Make a shallow indentation in the center of the flour; add 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast.
  12. Set the bread machine to the dough setting.
  13. Press start.
  14. Lightly flour two baking sheets.
  15. When the dough cycle is finished, remove the dough from the machine and place it on a lightly floured surface. Gently punch the dough down, then carefully roll it out into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
  16. Roll up the dough from one long side to form a thick baton shape with a square end.
  17. Place the baton on a prepared baking sheet, seam side up. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap.
  18. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
  19. Turn the bread over and place it on the second baking sheet.
  20. Plump up the dough by tucking the ends and sides under.
  21. Cover with oiled wrap and let rest in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  22. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  23. Using a sharp knife, slash the top of the bread with 5 diagonal slashes.
  24. Bake for 28 minutes, or until golden brown.
  25. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
