Instructions
Cheesy pizza rolls with walnut-basil pesto? Yes, please! These dreamy swirls of dough are easy, portable and absolutely addictive. 1. To make the pesto: Add 2 tbsp of the olive oil and the remaining pesto ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and process until chunky. Stream in the remaining 3 tbsp of olive oil while continuing to process until smooth. 2. To make the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, salt and garlic powder. In a small bowl, add the warm water, sugar and yeast. Let rest until the yeast has foamed up, then add this mixture to the dry mixture. Knead a few times, then roll out the dough into a rectangle. 3. Spread the pesto across the dough and sprinkle on the majority of the shredded mozzarella. 4. Roll the dough into a log and slice it into 1 inch segments. Place them spiral side up onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining mozzarella. 5. Bake on the top rack at 450F for 12-15 minutes. 6. Remove from the oven and enjoy warm!
