- Mix to form a soft dough.
- Knead by hand for 10-12 minutes or 8 minutes on medium setting on your electric mixer. It should be soft and springy to touch.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea-towel/cling wrap and leave to ferment for 1 hour. The dough should have doubled in size. Remove from the bowl.
- Roll out the dough on your counter top in a large rectangle shape. The thickness should be 1/4 inch. Try not to use any flour. If it sticks sprinkle a tiny bit on your counter but too much flour can make your dough tough.
- Using a knife or spatula smooth the pesto over the dough.
- Sprinkle with parmesan.
- Fold one side over the other. See video
- Cut into 7 strips.
- Twist them together, tie a knot and hide the seam underneath. See video for technique.
