Basil Pesto Bread
by usmcwidow
I have now lost the original recipe for this, but that is okay. It called for a lengthy process that included stuffing the bread with a fresh pesto sauce. We all know now that I do not have the patience for stuff like that, so I throw it all in one bowl & let it be easy! ~ From my blog The Dinner Babes at http://dinnerbabe.blogspot.com/ ~
