Making delicious bread doesn’t have to be time-consuming or tedious. By using pre-made dough and store-bought pesto, you can make an easy and elegant pesto bread that you can eat on the side with spaghetti or as an afternoon snack. Making it into twist makes it even worthy of a spot at a classy dinner party.
