Ingredients
- 300 ml Warm water
- 7 g Active dry yeast
- 10 g Sugar
- 500 g All-purpose flour
- 10 g Salt
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 150 g Dairy-free pesto
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy and frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mix together all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 3
Once the yeast mixture is ready, make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Step 4
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until it begins to come together into a dough.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles.
Step 8
Roll the dough out into a large rectangle (approximately 20x30 cm).
Step 9
Spread the dairy-free pesto evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 10
Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal it.
Step 11
Place the dough seam side down in a greased loaf pan.
Step 12
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 13
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 14
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Step 15
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
