Name: Pesto-Swirled Bread

The bottom line is that we are all hardwired to reject the complete and freely given righteousness of God in a desire to establish our own righteousness (Rom. 10:3). Like Adam and Eve, we search frantically for fig leaves to cover our spiritual nakedness. We think we need to do stuff or rest on our past spiritual achievements to receive God’s love. Deceived by our pride and our feelings, we rob glory from Jesus Christ and seek to find a false sense of peace in our own adequacy.

INSTRUCTIONS

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5
minutes. Add semolina, salt, and oil; beat at medium speed of a mixer until
smooth. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn dough
out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about
10 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, one tablespoon at a time,
to prevent dough from sticking to hands.
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 45
minutes or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down, and turn out onto a
lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half; roll each portion into an 11
x 7-inch rectangle. Spread 3 tablespoons of the Basil Pesto over center of
each rectangle, leaving a 1/2-inch margin around edges. Roll up each
rectangle, starting with a long edge, pressing firmly to eliminate air
pockets; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place rolls, seam sides down, in a
baguette pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 45 minutes or
until doubled in bulk.
Uncover dough. Combine egg and 1 tablespoon water; stir well, and brush
over loaves. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until loaves sound
hollow when tapped. Remove from pan, and let cool on wire racks. Yield: 2
loaves, 16 servings per loaf.
