Stuffed Bread a Variation on Ruzzige Cake
As prepared by Maeve d'Maas
The recipe as prepared by Maeve:
Take a prepared bread dough,. A prepackaged bread dough in a refrigerated
container or frozen bread works well. Remove from container (or
thaw as stated on package) and flatten out on a cookie sheet.
Spreading as thin as possible. It will take some working.
Filling:
Mix
Small package of frozen chopped spinach drained well OR 1 bunch fresh washed and wilted by heating then cooled and drained
2 to 3 chopped green onions
1/4 c. chopped flat leaf parsley
hand full of other herbs chopped as in season and desired (eg.
Basil, sage, mint, rosemary)
2 to 3 eggs lightly beaten
15 oz container of ricotta drained well
1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese
Place filling on bread and spread. Bring edges of bread together to enclose and pinch to seal. With a knife make a couple of slashes in top layer of bread to vent.
Bake at temperature and for the time as set on package.
