Ingredients
- 2.5 dl lukewarm water
- 8 g dry yeast
- 8 g salt
- 1 egg
- 1/2 dl olive oil
- 475 g flour
- 150 g good pesto
- 150 g fresh mozzarella - cut into small cubes
- 100 g fresh parmesan grated
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, stir the yeast into the water. Add the salt, egg, olive oil, flour and knead the dough well together in a food mixer using a dough hook for 8-10 minutes until completely smooth. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Put the dough on a floured table and roll it out with a rolling pin into a large rectangle, approx. 0.5 cm thick. Spread the pesto and sprinkle with the grated parmesan and mozzarella cubes.
Roll the dough into a long sausage and cut 12 nice slices with a sharp knife.
Grease a 26 cm sauté pan and place the twists on it. Cover with cling film again and leave them to rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
Bake the twists at 180°C in fan-assisted oven for 20 minutes
