You will need:

• 250 g strong bread flour , plus more for dusting
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 150 ml warm water
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, plus a tiny bit for greasing
• 150 g pesto

Combine the flour, salt, and yeast together, then form a well in the centre. Add the water and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and stir until the mixture holds together.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 7-10 minutes.

Put the dough into a bowl greased with olive oil, cover with cling film, and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Knead the dough again for another minute or so, then form the mixture into 18 even-sized balls.

Coat each dough ball in a generous helping of pesto.

Place the dough balls into a large cake tin, cover and rise for another hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C.)
