Zesty Pesto Tomato Baguette


Serves: 16
Total Calories: 85

Ingredients

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup pesto
3 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1/3 cup coarsely chopped sun dried tomato, drained,
1 egg, beaten
Shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese if desired

Directions:

Measure carefully, placing all ingredients except tomatoes, egg and cheese in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Add tomatoes at the Raisin/Nut signal.

Select Dough/Manual cycle. Do not use delay cycles.

Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Cover and let rest 10 minutes on lightly floured surface.

Grease large cookie sheet. Roll dough into 16x12-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Cut dough crosswise in half. Roll up each half of dough tightly, beginning at 12-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Gently roll back and forth to taper ends.

Place loaves 3 inches apart on cookie sheet. Make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes across tops of loaves, using sharp knife, or make 1 lengthwise slash on each loaf. Cover and let rise in warm place 30 to 40 minutes or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)

Heat oven to 375°. Brush eggs over tops of loaves. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, or cool on wire rack.

SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the tomatoes 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.

Shaping
Pinch edge of dough into roll to seal. Make 3 or 4 diagonal slashes on top of loaf.
