#ad | This pull apart pesto bread has never been easier to make using the @zwilling_usa XTEND Cordless System. The dough hooks on the hand mixer are amazing for small-scale bread recipes. It does all the kneading without having to dirty my hands or a large stand mixer. Plus, I can then easily swap the battery into the hand blender or the vacuum to use in other parts of the recipe, and move around the kitchen with ease. 
 
Comment PESTO to get all the recipe details straight to your inbox. 
 
INGREDIENTS
Pesto
1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp pine nuts
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
3 small cloves garlic 
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Bread
2 1/4 tsp yeast
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp butter, melted
1 egg
3 cups flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 cup milk, warmed
1 cup shredded mozzarella

INSTRUCTIONS
Make the Pesto
In the mini chopper attachment of the Zwilling XTEND Hand Blender pulse all pesto ingredients until everything is blended together and relatively smooth. Add a drizzle more olive oil to thin out, if desired. Taste and add pepper (and/or more salt) if desired. Set aside for later. 
 
Make the Bread
In a large bowl combine warmed milk with yeast and sugar. Set aside until foamy. If your yeast does not foam up, do not proceed to the next step. This means your yeast is not active.
Once the yeast mixture is foamy add melted butter, egg, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and 2.5 cups of flour. Mix to combine with the Zwilling XTEND Cordless Hand Mixer with the dough hooks, adding in additional flour until the mixture pulls away from the bowl.
Knead mixture for 7-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Place back into bowl, cover, and let rise for an hour, until doubled.
Place dough onto counter and divide into 8 sections. Flatten each section into a circular shape and spread with pesto and shredded cheese then fold in half. Place seam side down into a greased loaf pan and repeat with remaining sections. Allow to rise for an additional 30-60 minutes. 
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Top with more butter if desired.
