Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. store-bought or homemade pizza dough
- 9 Tbsp. pesto, divided
- 3/4 c. shredded mozzarella, divided
- 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan
- Marinara, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece to an 11″ circle. Place one circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread 3 tablespoons pesto over dough in an even layer, then top with 1/4 cup mozzarella. Top with a second piece of dough. Repeat with remaining pesto, mozzarella, and pizza dough, leaving the top layer of dough bare. Brush top layer with oil and sprinkle with Parmesan.
Step 2
Place a bowl or glass with a 3″ diameter in the center of dough. Using a sharp knife, cut circle into 16 equal strips, starting at bowl and going all the way to edge, making sure to cut through all of the layers. Remove bowl.
Step 3
Take 2 strips next to each other and twist away from each other 4 times. Pinch edges together to create a point. Repeat with the remaining strips to create 8 points.
Step 4
Bake stuffed bread until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with marinara alongside.
