Pesto Bread
Posted by Celine on September 10, 2007
dare I say it’s my new, new, new favorite? give it a try if you get a chance.
look here if you want to make it with light spelt flour.
as always, look here if you don’t have a machine.
for a 1 1/2 pound bread
1 cup + 2 T pure water
1/3 cup pesto of your choice
2 cups bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 T wheat germ
4 t vital wheat gluten
2 T light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 t sea salt
1 1/4 t bread machine yeast
place all ingredients in pan following manufacturer’s instructions.
bake on basic/white.
let cool on a rack before slicing.

sounds perfect! I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I’ve fallen out of the bread making habit. Must get back!

This bread not only looks perfectly, I’m quite sure it also tastes that way!
