Put the flour and salt in the stand mixer. Make a well and place the crumbled yeast in it (be careful not to let it touch the salt). Add the Parmesan, olive oil, and water, and knead for about 5 minutes.
Form a ball and let the dough rest for one hour at room temperature.
Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and spread pesto over the entire surface.
Roll the rolled-out dough into a log, then stretch it to make it longer. Cut it in half lengthwise.
Twist the two strands formed along their entire length.
Roll the twisted dough into a spiral and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let the two breads rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush olive oil on top of the breads and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
It's ready!

Can I replace the flour with a gluten-free alternative?
Yes, you can use gluten-free flour, such as rice flour or a gluten-free flour blend, but this may affect the texture of the rolls.
What other ingredients can I add to the pesto to vary the flavors?
You can add walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, or even spinach to give the pesto a different twist and enhance the flavor of the rolls.
How should I store the braided green pesto rolls?
The rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or in the refrigerator for longer.
Can I prepare the dough in advance?
