BRAIDED BREAD WITH PESTO
This braided bread is beautiful and full of flavor. I've made it with several different fillings. It is crispy and flaky on the outside and filled with pesto on the inside.

Steps:
- Combine basil, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor. Process until smooth. Gradually pour in olive oil and process until pesto thickens. Add Parmesan cheese, walnuts, and salt; process for 20 seconds more. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow flavors to combine.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle yeast over warm water in a large bowl. Let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.
- Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Gradually add to the yeast mixture along with olive oil. Stir until just combined. Add more flour if dough is sticking to the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Form dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Turn dough over so both top and bottom are oiled. Cover with aluminum foil and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Gently stretch and elongate dough into a rectangle roughly 12x18 inches. Spread the pesto over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Gently roll up into a 'snake', starting from 1 long side. Pinch the seam closed.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal or line with parchment paper.
- Transfer rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a pastry cutter or sharp knife to cut the roll in half lengthwise. Turn dough so cut edges face up. Gently crisscross the dough, keeping cut edges facing up. Pinch ends together to form a wreath. Let rest for 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
- Dissolve the yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the water, yeast, and sugar and mix at low speed just until blended, 20 to 40 seconds. Let stand in the bowl until the mixture is foamy, frothy, and smells distinctly like yeast, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Scald the milk: Heat the milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat until tiny bubbles form at the edge of the pan, just before it simmers. An instant-read thermometer will read between 180°F and 185°F. Be careful not to let it boil. (If you don't have a thermometer, test it with your finger; it should be uncomfortably hot.) Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
- Make the dough: Add the milk, olive oil, and salt to the mixer and mix at low speed just until combined, about 10 seconds. Add the 4 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition at low to medium-low speed until combined into a homogeneous mass. It will still be a little raggedy and not quite smooth. (Adding the flour cup by cup and mixing after each addition will prevent the flour from puffing up into your face and all over the cabinet.)
- Knead the dough: Scrape the raggedy dough from the paddle into the mixer bowl. Switch to the dough hook attachment. Mix at low speed for about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium and knead for 5 to 7 minutes. The dough will not be sticky or tacky; nor will it be dry. It will get a bit looser as it becomes smoother. This dough is a great example of the classic smooth and elastic dough. As you knead it, the dough will clear the sides of the bowl.

- Add the flour and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with hook attachment and mix on low speed until blended. Add all remaining dough ingredients, then mix on low speed for 30 minutes. Check after a few minutes to make sure all ingredients have been incorporated. If not, stop mixer, scrape down sides, then continue mixing. Meanwhile, make the pesto.
- Place garlic and pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor with blade attached. Pulse until finely chopped. Add basil and pulse until well blended.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pushing down on the down to release any bubbles. Gently pull the top of the dough down onto the bottom. Next, pull the right side of the dough over towards the left side. Pull the bottom of the dough up over to the top. Finally, stretch the left side of the dough over towards the right.

- To the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with dough attachment, add flour and salt. With mixer running on low, slowly add yeast mixture. Increase speed to medium high, mixing until dough comes together in a clean ball. Shape dough into a smooth ball, transfer to a lightly greased large bowl. Cover and allow to rise for one hour or doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare pesto sauce in a food processor. Blend together basil and garlic. Add cheese, blending quickly. With lid on and food processor running on low, slowly drizzle in olive oil.
- Roll out dough on a silicone counter mat into a 10 x 20-inch rectangle. Spread pesto sauce out to 1/2-inch from edges. Starting at one of the shorter sides, tightly roll up dough, pinching edges as you go. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice completely through dough, end to end. Braid dough. Carefully transfer to a lightly greased 10-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Lightly cover and allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
