How to Make Spinach Bread Pane Agli Spinaci

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Add ½ cup olive oil and 1 cup packed, finely chopped fresh spinach. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  7. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the top of the bread with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  10. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
