Bread with Spinach
Description
If you don’t have fresh spinach, you can use freshly frozen. Before grinding, you need to pour the specified amount of water into the blender jar, but only boiling water, and pulse it as well. If the mixture is cold for kneading, warm it up to 36‑38 °C. Otherwise, the process is the same. It can be served with tea or coffee.

Step 4
Choose a method for kneading the bread; in my case, using a bread machine. Pour the liquid spinach mixture into the bottom of the bucket, add sugar, salt, pressed yeast, flour, sesame seeds, and vegetable oil. Set aside one tablespoon of oil. Select the "Dough" program for 1 hour 04 minutes. If you knead by hand, follow the usual yeast dough principle: dissolve salt, sugar, and yeast in warm liquid (with spinach). Add flour, sesame seeds, and knead the dough. Add the oil during the kneading process. Then let the dough rest for 1 hour in a warm place.
