Method
Step 1
Place the flour, salt, sugar, butter, yeast and water into a mixer with a dough hook.
Step 2
Mix into a soft dough and knead for 5 minutes.
Step 3
If mixed by hand, knead for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4
Roll out the dough to a 30x23 cm rectangle. Then spread over the pesto be careful not to over fill as this is likely to spill out when baked.
Step 5
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the pesto and then roll up the dough like a swiss roll and seal along the seam.
Step 6
Cut into 12 equal slices, place onto a greased baking tray, and prove the dough until it is double in size.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan, gas mark 5)
Step 8
Lightly sprinkle additional mozzarella over the top of the pinwheels and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Once baked place on a cooling rack and leave to cool.
