Recipe: Basil pesto loaf
Bread with aromatic herbs
September 28, 2010
I wanted to try a pesto bread, and I used my homemade pesto, with the last basil harvest.
I hoped for a green bread, but the millet flour become brown when cooked. But it's okay: the pesto can't be seen but it can be tasted!
This loaf was perfect with cheese, tuna oil and also my
chili jam
.
