-
Mix the flours, salt, yeast, oil and milk together then pour enough water in to make a soft, sticky dough – be prepared to add a bit more or not quite the whole amount.
-
Using the dough hook in a stand mixer, beat for 5-10 minutes until the dough cleans the side of bowl.
-
When elastic, place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling until doubled in size.
-
Flour a work surface lightly then tip out the dough – it should be very soft and easy to pat out into a rectangle about 5-7mm thick but if you haven’t been brave enough with the liquid, use a rolling pin to encourage it.
-
Brush any excess flour off the top then paint with the pesto and sprinkle over the feta.
-
Roll up along the longest side like you would for cinnamon buns and then transfer to a floured baking sheet.
-
Slice almost completely through every 2 inches, pulling each “roll” to alternate sides – be reasonably forceful so they don’t recoil and form a long log!
-
Spray with oil then cover with cling and once again, leave to prove again until puffy and almost doubled in size and bake for 25-30 minutes in a 200°C oven (obviously removing the cling before you bake!).
-
Once cooked, it will be browned on top but the base will give slightly if you prod it – cover with a clean tea towel until it reaches room temp then you can remove it from the tray as it will have firmed up enough to not tear.
