  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves

  • 1/2 cup salted peanuts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic

Notes

Kitchen Tip: Make the pesto right before you spread it on the dough, so it stays nice and green. You may substitute 2 cups of any combination of fresh leafy herbs you prefer to make the pesto—mint, tarragon, and sage would all work beautifully in this bread.
