Coriander Garlic Pull Apart Rolls | Yeasted Breads | Baking Marathon Day 4

When I made Coriander
Walnut Garlic Pesto
, my original plan was to use it in Sphagetti / pasta
alone. Till my bookmarks tumbled down one by one, and I had Nag’s recipe
staring at me for the past few yearsL(yes,
years !!). The fear of dealing with yeast was daunting, and this was one of the
first breads I baked for this Marathon, and did a happy dance when it turned
out just right. Like I said in my inaugural post on Orange Almond Cake, this
Baking Marathon helped me conquer many of my fears of working with yeast.

Adapting on the original recipe with pesto instead of garlic butter, this
was a breeze to make and yummy to taste. I also made another batch of mint
pesto which I used to make a similar roll last week. These rolls can be had as
a snack, or as an accompaniment to meat dishes / soups or even as an appetizer.
Either way, it’s a crowd pleaser, and my kiddo is always hovering around the
oven when I am baking asking if am baking her favourite snack roll.

 Method:

  1. In a large bowl, sieve flour and
    salt and keep aside. Make a well like indentation and keep ready
  2. In a cup, add ¼ cup warm water,
    sugar and yeast (I proof my yeast everytime even though I use instant). Once
    done, add the proven yeast and mix well. Add in the rest of the warm water and
    half of the olive oil, little by little till you get a slightly firm dough. On
    a floured surface, knead well for 8-10 mins (or if using a stand mixer) till you
    get a smooth dough. 
  3. Place in a well greased bowl,
    covered till doubled. Mine took about 90 mins.
  4. Once doubled, punch down and knead
    again for 2-3 mins. Halve the dough and roll out into a roughly rectangular
    sheet on a floured surface.
  5. Place this surface on a greased /
    lined baking sheet snugly, apply a coat of the oil, and spread the pesto
    generously leaving out the sides. Sprinkle any nuts if you are using

  1. As shown in the picture, start
    rolling in the pesto roll tightly from the longer side and when you reach the
    end, pinch the seams in so you get a tight roll.
  2. Wrap in cling wrap / foil and
    refrigerate for 20 mins (very crucial, don’t miss this step else you would end
    with messy rolls).
  3. Repeat with other part of the
    dough. Place all these rolls on a lined baking sheet, cover and let them rise
    again for 30-40 mins . Towards the end of the second rise preheat to 180 C /
    375 F.
  4. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on
    these rolls before placing them in the oven, bake for 25-30 mins till you see
    them crusty and baked. You may broil for last 2 mins if you need a deeper crust.
  5. Cool on racks and serve warm. You
    may also freeze excess rolls and warm the next day (microwave for 30 secs is
    ideal)
