Instructions

1. Make the dough. Mix yeast, water, sugar, salt, and oil. Add flour gradually and knead until smooth. Let rise for 2 hours.

2. Make the spinach filling. Mix sour cream and cream cheese. Add garlic, spices, feta, spinach, lemon, mozzarella, parmesan, and dill.

3. Divide dough into 3 parts. Roll each into a 13-14 inch circle.

4. Layer the dough: place first circle, spread half the filling, add second circle, rest of filling, and top with final dough circle.

5. Lightly mark the center. Cut 16 strips from center to edge.

6. Twist pairs in opposite directions (1½ turns each), then pinch ends to form snowflake petals.

7. Transfer to parchment-lined sheet. Let rise 30 minutes.

8. Brush with egg wash, sprinkle flaky salt and parmesan.

9. Bake at 350°F for 55 minutes, then cover with foil and bake 10 more minutes.

10. Cool slightly. Grate parmesan over the top before serving.

Notes

You can prepare the dough a day ahead and refrigerate after the first rise.

Spinach filling also works as a standalone dip when baked.

Use fresh or frozen spinach (drain well if frozen).

Store leftovers in an airtight container. Reheat in oven for best texture.
