The vegetable snails can of course also be filled with other vegetables. Spinach or carrot fillings also go very well with them. A well-seasoned white bean and cauliflower paste, refined with herbs, tastes absolutely delicious.
Interesting to know
Pizza dough is very versatile. It doesn’t always have to be traditional pizza. Pizza sticks or stuffed pizza are also popular snacks for between meals. The spelt flour type 1050 makes these snacks particularly delicious, but also wholesome, as this flour contains even more fiber from the whole grain. Of course, you can also bake these pastries with regular spelt flour type 630. This will make them even more delicate.
