Pesto Bread Wreath is a flavorful dish, halfway between a savory pie and a flavored bread, inspired by the Kringle. Kringle is a bread wreath of Estonian origin, usually made in a sweet version and served during the holidays. This pesto bread garland is the savory version of Kringle, an original dish that will amaze your guests.

Savory Pesto Kringle is perfect for filling the bread basket during the holidays, but it is also ideal for drinks with friends or for a picnic, such as the one Italians traditionally enjoy on Easter Monday.

Method

To make the Pesto Bread Wreath, pour the 00 flour, Manitoba flour, yeast, and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. Attach the dough hook and mix for a few seconds.
Lightly beat the egg and add it to the dough. Add the water and knead for 7-8 minutes. When the yeast has activated, add the salt and knead for another 5 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a large, lightly oiled bowl. Let the dough rest for about 2 hours.
After the resting time, take the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin rectangular sheet.
Spread the pesto evenly over the dough, leaving a couple of centimeters free around the edge. Starting from the long side, roll the dough up on itself.
Starting from one end, leave about 5-6 centimeters intact and cut the rest of the roll with a knife, so that you get two equal strands joined only at the top. Twist each strand on itself, then twist the two strands around each other.
Join the two ends of the braid to form a wreath, place it in a ring pan lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 45 minutes.
When it is done, take it out of the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve the Pesto Bread Wreath. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
