Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  2. Add garlic and spinach to the skillet, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the spinach wilts. Optionally stir in nutritional yeast.
Roll Preparation
  1. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Spread the sautéed filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  3. Roll tightly into a log shape and slice into about 12 pieces.
  4. Place the rolls cut-side up in a greased baking dish with space between them.
Second Rise
  1. Cover the assembled rolls with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes in a warm area.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
