    Method

    1. Step 1

      Place the flour, salt, sugar, butter, yeast and water into a mixer with a dough hook.

    2. Step 2

      Mix into a soft dough and knead for 5 minutes.

    3. Step 3

      If mixed by hand, knead for at least 10 minutes.

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

    6. Step 6

      Cut into 12 equal slices, place onto a greased baking tray, and prove the dough until it is double in size.

    7. Step 7

      Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan, gas mark 5)

    8. 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.
