Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. Stuff the pocket of the bread with the cheesy spinach mixture, ensuring to pack it in well.
  5. Lightly brush the outside of the bread with olive oil.
  6. Place the stuffed bread on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy.

Pair with a fresh garden salad or creamy tomato soup. For storage, wrap in foil or place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to revive crispiness.
