Preparation
  1. To begin, prepare the dough. In a large bowl, combine the flour and 1 packet of dried yeast.
  2. Mix the two ingredients with a spoon and add the sugar.
  3. Then add the oil and gradually all the water. Then add the salt.
  4. Start kneading all the ingredients together until you obtain a ball of dough and transfer it to a floured surface.
  5. Knead by hand for about 10 minutes, or until the dough becomes soft and elastic.
  6. Transfer it to a bowl and leave it to rise in the preheated oven for about an hour and a half.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the filling.
  8. Place the frozen diced spinach in a large saucepan with 2 tablespoons of oil and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Once cooked, season with salt and discard any cooking water.
  9. Let the spinach cool, squeeze it and transfer it to a plate.
  10. Add the Sterilgarda ricotta, a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and the diced smoked scamorza to the spinach.
  11. Take the dough and divide it into 12/14 balls of the same size.
  12. Take the first ball, flatten it slightly with your hands, and place a scoop of filling in the center. Gently fold the dough over, sealing the edges well.
  13. Place the ball in a previously oiled 24/26 cm diameter round baking pan.
  14. Repeat the operation until all the ingredients are used up and place the pan in the oven off for about 30 minutes.
  15. Finally, brush the danubio with a mixed egg yolk and add a spoonful of Sterilgarda Microfiltered Semi-Skimmed Milk
