About this recipe

Yeast knots, in sweet or savory versions, have a long tradition in my family. My grandma always baked them for special occasions, mostly sweet with raisins and almonds. This savory version with spinach and feta is a tribute to her baking skills, but with a modern, Mediterranean twist. The combination of the fluffy yeast dough and the spicy filling is simply unbeatable. The ingredients play a crucial role. The warm milk and water activate the yeast, which is responsible for the looseness of the dough. The oil ensures smoothness and prevents the dough from becoming too dry. The spinach, preferably frozen, is the base of the filling and brings a pleasant, slightly earthy note. The feta contributes saltiness and a creamy texture that harmonizes perfectly with the spinach. Garlic and onion provide the aromatic base, nutmeg rounds it off. Sesame and black cumin are not only visual eye-catchers, but also give the knots a slightly nutty taste. When preparing with the Thermomix®, it is important to pay close attention to the temperature of the milk and water. They should be warm, but not hot, as the yeast can die otherwise. When kneading the dough, it is helpful to keep an eye on the consistency. The dough should come away from the edge of the bowl and have a smooth, elastic surface. If it is too sticky, simply add flour by the tablespoon. The spinach filling can be prepared while the dough is resting to save time. Make sure to squeeze the spinach well before adding the feta so that the filling does not become too watery. For a vegetarian version, you can simply replace the feta with another type of cheese, such as halloumi or goat cheese. If you like it vegan, you can replace the feta with a vegan alternative and use a plant-based "egg" substitute instead of egg for brushing. There are also no limits to your imagination when it comes to spices. Dried herbs such as oregano, thyme or rosemary go perfectly with spinach and feta. The savory yeast knots taste best warm, but are also a delight cold. They go perfectly with a salad, as a side dish to a soup or simply as a snack in between. A dip made from yogurt and herbs rounds off the taste experience. The finished yeast knots can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. They can also be frozen well. To warm them up, simply put them in the oven or microwave for a short time. The dough can also be prepared the day before and left to rise overnight in the refrigerator. This saves time the next day.
