Recipe video above. A bread made without yeast with swirls of herb and pockets of cheese throughout with addictive garlic flavour. Slices well and especially great toasted!Enjoy for morning tea, take to picnics, serve on the side of meals, dunk into soups and slow cooked stews! Serve warm for the best eating experience, preferably with lashings of butter.PS You can totally use homemade or store-bought pesto instead of the herb & garlic swirl. Use 1/3 to 1/2 cup. Bear in mind the flavour will only be as good as the pesto you use :)
