Ingredients:


2 cups capacity - 12 servings

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

2 cups bread flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons water

3 tablespoons pesto sauce

1 teaspoon lemon juice

3 cups capacity - 16 servings

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1 cup water

1/4 cup pesto sauce

1 teaspoon lemon juice
 

Preparation / Directions:


Pesto is a fresh herb sauce that is made from basil leaves, garalic, pine nuts, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and extra-virgin olive oil. White this sauce is usually served with pasta or minestrone, it can also transform a loaf of bread into a fragrant bouquet. With a light crumb and crisp crust, pesto bread is a natural companion to any Italian meal. Prepared pesto sauce is popping up more and more in supermarket dairy cases along-side fresh pasta and noodles. If you should have any pesto left over, I suggest using it within a few days or freezing it for later use. All ingredients must be at room temperature, unless otherwise noted. Add ingredients in the order specified in your bread machine owner's manual. Set bread machine on the basic/standard bread making setting. Select medium or normal baking cycle. The programmable timer can be used, if desired
