How to Make Walnut Pesto Bread
These three steps will guide you on making our divine walnut pesto bread recipe.
Step 1
Lightly flour a work surface and set dough on it. Press dough flat. With a floured rolling pin, roll dough into 14” x 10” rectangle. Spread top of dough with pesto, leaving 1” or so of clean dough around the edges. Roll dough, as tightly as you can, into long cylinder.
Step 2
Roll cylinder into a round loaf, that kind of looks like a giant cinnamon bun. When done, tuck the open end of the cylinder under the loaf.
Step 3
Set bread on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil, sprinkle with coarse sea salt and black pepper. Let bread rise until doubled in size. Bake dough as described in the recipe.
