Cooking
Step 1
Mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Pour in half the water and stir, then gradually add the remaining water. You should have a pretty cool dough. Add olive oil and gather the dough into a ball. Turn it out onto a floured work surface and knead with your hands, 7 minutes. When the dough is smooth and elastic, roll it into a ball and return to the bowl. Cover with cling film and leave in a warm place to rise for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.
Step 2
Finely chop the greens, chop the garlic. Cheese grate on a fine grater.
Step 3
When the dough has risen, knead it lightly in a bowl, then divide in half. Roll out each piece into a 50cm x 25cm rectangle.
Step 4
Lubricate the layers of dough with butter and sprinkle with garlic, herbs and grated cheese. Divide each rectangle on the long side into 4 parts, and on the short side into 3 and cut. Fold the resulting squares in a stack on top of each other, you will get a turret.
Step 5
Butter a 10x25 cm rectangular bread pan. Place the dough cup on its side in the pan. Don't worry if the turret is a little shorter, the dough will expand as it bakes. Cover the bread with a towel and leave for 30 minutes. for proofing.
Step 6
Preheat oven to 190°C. Place the bread pan in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. Take the bread out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then remove from the mold and cool on a wire rack.
