  • Add 1 tsp of lemon juice and gradually mix in 2-4 tbsp of ice water until the dough holds together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant for around 30 seconds.
  • Add 200g of fresh spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and drain any excess moisture.

Making the Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 120g of softened cream cheese, 50g of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and 50g of grated mozzarella or Gruyère. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the drained spinach, 100g of chopped artichoke hearts, lemon zest, and season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.

Rolling and Assembling

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the dough into a circle approximately 30cm in diameter on parchment paper.
  • Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet and spread the spinach-artichoke filling into the center, leaving a 5cm border.
  • Gently fold the edges inward towards the center, overlapping as necessary.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Garnishing and Serving

  • Garnish with fresh dill or parsley, extra grated cheese, black pepper, and lemon zest before serving.

Notes

For an even flakier crust, ensure butter is very cold. You can chill the flour in the freezer before using. Consider adding a hint of nutmeg or experiment with different cheese options.
