Author: Toni Anderson

Ingredients

  • 1/2 recipe 100% whole wheat bread dough
  • 3 ounces Neufchatel cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen spinach; do not thaw if using frozen
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Make the dough according to directions. If you make the whole recipe, divide the dough in half. Freeze the remaining dough for later.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about the size of a half sheet cake.
  • Whip the softened cream cheese with a spatula until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in minced garlic and dried basil.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough.
  • Layer over spinach leaves and halved cherry tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
  • Starting at the long side of the rectangle, roll up the dough into a loaf.
  • Seal the dough with a little bit of water and pinch the dough ends together.
  • Place on a cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 425 for 20 minutes until the bread is lightly browned.
  • Slice with a sharp bread knife and serve warm.
