I thought this looked like a different type of dinner roll, so I made them this weekend.\u00a0 I was pleased with the result, even though I added a little too much flour (rookie mistake – dangit!) and I had to buy store-bought pesto.\u00a0 (Remember how I can’t buy fresh basil here?)\u00a0 What I didn’t notice in the grocery store is that the cheap folks in the Kroger Private Selection kitchen put SPINACH in their pesto, and I’m sure it’s not to enhance the flavor!\u00a0 So, I would love to taste this with the real stuff.\u00a0 Anyway, here’s the recipe.\u00a0 I followed it to a T.<\/p>\n

Pesto Rolls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sweet Savory Life<\/a><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n1\/2 cup warm water (115 degrees F)
\n1\/2 cup warm milk (115 degrees F)
\n1 egg (room temperature), slightly beaten
\n1\/2 cup butter, melted
\n2 tablespoons white sugar
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n4-5 cups bread flour
\n1 (.25 ounce) package (2 1\/4 tsp) instant dry yeast
\n1\/2 cup pesto (Savory Sweet Life pesto recipe<\/a>)
\n1\/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
\n*Dough can be kneaded by hand, bread machine, or KitchenAid Mixer using the dough hook.\u00a0 However, directions below are written for a KitchenAid.<\/p>\n

*You can also use store bought frozen dinner roll dough and pesto to save time!<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Place water, milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a K.A mixing bowl.\u00a0 Add 4 cups of flour on top of all the liquid mixture sprinkling yeast on top.\u00a0 Using the dough hook, knead bread mixture on speed 3 until dough is smooth and elastic adding additional flour as needed (approx. 5-7 min.).\u00a0 Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with a wet towel.\u00a0 Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour in a warm area.<\/p>\n

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll into a rectangle slightly larger than a 9\u00d713 pan (rectangle).\u00a0 Spread surface evenly with pesto and sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top.\u00a0 Beginning with the long side, roll dough pinching the seam to seal.\u00a0 Cut into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased muffin tin, cut side up.\u00a0 Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.\u00a0 Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.\u00a0 Remove from muffin cups and serve warm. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
