Instructions
  1. Put flour in a bowl with salt and sugar and yeast. Give a quick stir then add butter and three- quarters of the water. Mix and continue adding water until you have a soft but not soggy dough.
  2. Knead the dough for 5- 10 minutes, do not add too much flour for dusting. Put the dough into a bowl, cover and let it rise until it doubles ( up to 3 hours).
  3. Dust the work surface, tip the dough onto it and fold it many times, until all the air is knocked out. Divide in 60 g pieces.
  4. Take the pieces you are not rolling covered with cling film. Roll each piece into a boll then spread it with a rollpin ( they are a little bit hard to spread, the dough tries to " come back" but it's normal).
  5. Heat a pan on fire and grease it with some oil; put one dough round in the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Flip the bread and cook the other side for 1 minute. Stack them one on another.

Instructions
  1. Sautee cleaned spinach in a pan with olive oil, garlic and salt. When cooked remove garlic and blend spinach in a mixer with as much as needed cold water to have a smooth cream.
  2. In a tall glass blend with a mixer stracchino cheese with a couple of hot water spoons. Keep on blending adding oil little by little and, if needed, more hot water. The cream could become granulose but it's not a problem, keep on blending untill it's fluffy ( you will need 3-4 tabsp oil, no more).
  3. When the spinach cream is at room temperature put it in a dish, add teaspoons of cheese mousse and, if you like, radish and/ or asparagus. I added only a hint of lemon zest, I liked it.
