Ingredients You Need for Pesto Twist [Vegan]
How to Prepare Pesto Twist [Vegan]
- Add yeast to warm water allow to set until frothy. Add olive oil.
- In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, and salt. Give a quick stir so all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.Add yeast mixture into the bowl and mix until the dough is shaggy. Turn out onto floured surface and knead for a few minutes, until dough forms a smooth ball. Grease your bowl and put your dough back in. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 2-3 hours.
- Meanwhile, make your pesto. Add all ingredients into a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth. Set aside.
- Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough, and shape into a thin rectangle.
- With a spoon, spread out your pesto.
- With the long side facing you, pick up the edge, and tightly roll up the dough just as you would to make cinnamon rolls or a jelly roll. Transfer to a lined baking sheet.
- Cut down the center of the entire length of the roll, creating two long pieces. Loosely wrap the pieces around each other a few times. Take both ends of the twist and gently tuck them underneath.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
