Lunchbox Bakes – Spinach + Feta Plait

We ripped apart and ate this bread with a little bit of butter – it was delish!  It’s easy to make as there is no yeast required or kneading involved.

100g chopped frozen spinach, thawed
2 cups self raising flour
3 teaspoons chopped thyme
1 cup grated parmesan
150g feta, crumbed
3/4 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Using your hands, squeeze out the excess liquid from the spinach.  Sift the flour into a bowl.  Stir in the spinach, thyme, parmesan and 120g of the feta.  Stir in enough milk (you may not need to use it all) to make a soft, sticky dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Divide it into three pieces.  Shape each piece into a 30cm long log.  Plait the logs together on the prepared tray, pinching the ends to seal.
Bake for 30 minutes.  Sprinkle the top with the remaining feta and bake for 10 more minutes or until golden and sounds hollow when tapped on the base.

Doesn’t that look yum?  If you want to make something and take part in Lunchbox Bakes, take a read of the info on our Lunchbox Bakes page.  We would love to hear from you!
