To make this Cheesy Pesto Swirl Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
To start, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the pesto evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pesto.
Starting from the long side of the rectangle, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal the dough. Cut the log in half lengthwise, leaving one end uncut. Twist the two halves together, and then form the twisted dough into a circle shape. Place the dough into a greased baking dish and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Bake the Cheesy Pesto Swirl Bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy on the outside. Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This Cheesy Pesto Swirl Bread is a perfect appetizer or side dish for any meal. The bread is soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy and cheesy crust on the outside. The pesto adds a burst of flavor to the dish, while the mozzarella cheese adds a creamy and gooey texture. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
