Pesto Stuffed Star Bread

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°,. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into 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 the top layer with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  2. Place a bowl or glass with a 3" diameter in the center of the dough. Using a sharp knife, cut from the circle into 16 equal strips, starting at the bowl and going all the way to the edge, making sure to cut through all of the layers. Remove bowl.
  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. Bake stuffed bread until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with marinara alongside.
