Ingredients
  

For the dough:

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • ½ cup water lukewarm
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil

For the filling:

  • 2 red onions
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup
  • cups fresh spinach
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ cup vegan cream cheese
  • salt, pepper & nutmeg to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheated the oven at 350°F (convection) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
  • Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the lukewarm water and let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  • Add the flour, salt, and oil to a bowl. Add the yeast mixture and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  • Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened and golden brown. Add the agave syrup, stir well, and let the onions caramelize slightly. Set aside.
  • Peel and finely chop the garlic. Sauté it in a pan with some oil. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 12 x 16 inches).
  • Spread a thin layer of vegan cream cheese over the dough. Evenly distribute the spinach over the dough and sprinkle with the caramelized onions. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Tightly roll the dough from the long side to form a long roll. Using a knife, cut the roll into ¾-inch thick slices.
  • Place the rolls cut-side up on the baking sheet. Let them rest for another 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  • Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
