2 cups spinach, cooked or frozen
¼ cup dried fruit
½ cup warm milk
3 cups flour
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp salt
1-2 tsp herbs or spices as desired
2 Tbsp oil
1 egg
If your spinach is frozen, warm it up before mixing. Combine the spinach, dried fruit, and milk in a blender and puree until smooth. You need 1 ½ cups of puree (add more milk if necessary).
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, salt, and seasoning. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg with the oil.
Stir the spinach mixture and egg mixture into the flour mixture. Knead it thoroughly. It will seem dry but the spinach will continue releasing moisture as it is kneaded, so don't add more liquid until you're sure it needs it.
Put the dough in a bowl coated in oil, cover it, and let rise until doubled (about 45-60 minutes).
Lightly knead the dough, then form it into rolls and place on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled. While rising, preheat oven to 375° F.
Bake for 17-20 minutes.

1 cup water
½ cup butter
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
2 ¼ tsp yeast
1 egg
3 cups flour
Add ½ cup water, butter, and ¼ cup flour to a saucepan. Heat on medium heat until butter melts. Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and salt, stir until dissolved.
In a small bowl, beat the egg.
Add yeast, egg, and remaining water to mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly. Stir in the rest of the flour until totally combined.
Cover bowl with greased foil and place in the refrigerator for 6-48 hours.
When ready to bake, remove dough from the refrigerator. Place dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece between your hand and the counter, working your hand in a flat, circular motion.
Place rolls on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for one hour.
While rolls rise, preheat oven to 425° F. Bake rolls for 18-25 minutes, until golden-brown.

1 cup milk
2 Tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
¼ cup lukewarm water (110 degrees)
4 to 4½ cups flour
3 Tbsp melted butter
1 Tbsp orange zest
Sauce:
1 cup orange juice
¼ cup sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
Heat milk with butter, salt and ¼ cup of the sugar. Heat until butter melts, but do not boil. Let cool to lukewarm. Whisk in egg and vanilla.
Dissolve yeast in water with 1 tsp sugar. Combine 3½ cups of flour with yeast mixture and milk mixture, stirring to form dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Spread a thin layer of butter inside the bowl.
Knead dough about 8 minutes until smooth and resistant, adding flour if necessary.
Return to bowl. Cover and place in warm place to rise until double in size, 1 to 2 hours.
Punch down dough. Roll out on lightly floured board to a large rectangle about ½” thick. Brush with melted butter. Mix ¼ cup sugar with orange zest and sprinkle on.
Roll dough like jelly roll. Use a sharp knife to cut thick slices to make the rolls. Place in a greased cake pan.
Mix together the sauce ingredients and pour over the rolls. Cover and let rise in warm place until nearly doubled in size.
Heat oven to 325° F. Bake rolls 45 minutes, until light golden brown.
