Step-by-step
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, line a large round pan or baking dish with parchment paper (ideally it should be around 12 inches in diameter) and place your dough all around the edges, then place a bowl or other small baking pan in the center (this is to ensure you'll have plenty of space to fill in the center with the filling) and bake for half the time your rolls need to bake for according to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, saute the onion and garlic in the oil until softened, then add that cooked mixture to a large bowl along with the remaining ingredients for the filling, mix together really well and set aside until the rolls are ready.
- Remove the pan from the center of the partially baked rolls, pour the filling in the center, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and brush the garlic oil all over the rolls and pop it back in for about 15 minutes or until the rolls are fully cooked and mixture is golden brown and bubbly.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. No complicated techniques, no obscure ingredients, just a handful of pantry staples transformed into a culinary masterpiece. The creamy, cheesy filling, bursting with the richness of artichoke hearts and the freshness of spinach, is perfectly complemented by the fluffy, buttery rolls.

The vibrant green of the spinach, peeking through the golden brown crust, makes it almost too pretty to eat – almost. I confess, I frequently sneak a bite or two before it even reaches the table.
