Time 3h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup water (at room temperature)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon yeast
4 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes
3/4 cup fresh spinach, shredded
1 teaspoon whole wheat flour
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

Add the dough ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order listed.
Set your machine for a 1 lb dough cycle. If your machine has an extras setting, select it.
Toss the cubed feta with the whole wheat flour. Add to the extras dispenser if your bread machine has one, if not, just set it aside. (It doesn't all fit into the dispenser, so add what will fit, and either mound the rest on top, or set it aside.).
You have to pay attention to your machine. If it has the extras setting (on my machine, it's 20 minutes into the cycle), when you hear it dispense the cheese, open the lid and add the shredded spinach. If you don't have an extra setting, open the lid and add the spinach and the cheese 20 minutes into the cycle.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine, form it into a tight ball, cover it with bread machine pan, and let rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Shape the dough into a fat, round loaf. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Brush the top of the loaf with the optional beaten egg. (It gives the finished loaf a nice shiny glaze.).
Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

Put the warm water in a medium bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir. When it starts to bubble, add the flour and start to stir with a wooden spoon (or by hand). Add the olive oil slowly until the dough is pliable and smooth. Work in the feta cheese, kneading until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Place the dough on a lightly oiled cookie sheet and flatten with the palms of the hand. The dough shouldn't be any higher than about 1 1/4 inches. Score the top lightly in squares or diamond shapes. Cover with a towel and allow the dough to rise for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 340F (170C).
Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. It should be done on the bottom and nicely browned on top.
