Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Instant Yeast
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Egg divided
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter unsalted
  • 1 cup Milk very warm but not hot
  • 1/2 cup Pesto
  • 1/4 cup Sundried Tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese divided

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, whisk together flour, yeast and salt.
  • With mixer running on low speed, add 1 egg and butter then slowly pour in milk.
  • Once incorporated, increase speed to medium and continue kneading dough for 10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Rise at warm room temperature until doubled in size, 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
  • Remove dough from bowl to a lightly oiled work surface.
  • Deflate the dough then roll it to a 12x18-inch rectangle.
  • Spread dough with pesto up to 1-inch all around. Sprinkle sun dried tomatoes over pesto then sprinkle on 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
  • Starting from the one long edge, tightly roll into a log. Pinch seam together to seal.
  • Cut log into 12 even pieces and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Cover lightly with plastic wrap and rest at warm room temperature for 1 hour or until puffed.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk remaining egg with a teaspoon water. Gently brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle tops evenly with remaining parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven 22-25 minutes, until golden brown and baked through. Serve immediately.
