Delicious bread baked with pesto swirls inside and
topped with mozzarella cheese for a golden crust.
Hello!
I made this braided pesto bread yesterday and I can’t
wait to share the recipe with you.
This is not a complicated recipe. For the dough I used
the same recipe as I did for my Nutty
Cinnamon Buns, I just halved the quantity as I am baking this in a loaf pan.
To get the shape, you just have to roll out the dough
after it has risen into a large rectangle. Spread pesto over it and roll it up
into a long cylinder. Then,
you cut it almost in half lengthways, leaving it just joined at one end (like a
pair of legs). Twist the 2 dough lengths together and place the dough into a loaf pan.
The bread tastes so good. Crusty on the outside and
soft and pillowy inside. The pesto swirls makes this taste and smell even better.
It is also delicious toasted with butter or more pesto. You can pair it with a soup
or salad for a nice fresh summer meal.
