Pesto and Sundried Tomato Camembert Wreath

Pesto and Sundried Tomato Camembert Wreath

Preparation

Step 1


Pre-heat the oven to 160°C/320°F.


Step 2


Briefly knead the dough until you have a smooth ball, about 30 seconds. Divide the pizza dough in half and on a floured surface, roll out the first piece of dough to a 50cm x 30cm rectangle (approximately), about 0.5mm in thickness.


Step 3


Spread the surface of the dough with green pesto and sprinkle with 60g mozzarella. Stating from the longest edge, roll the dough up into a pinwheel, as if you were making a cinnamon roll. Repeat for the second piece of dough, this time using the sundried tomato pesto. Reserve 30g mozzarella for sprinkling on top.


Step 4


Use a sharp knife or a piece of dental floss to cut the dough logs into 1.5cm rounds.


Step 5


Remove any packaging from the camembert and slice the lid off the top, keeping it aside. On top of a large flat baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil directly onto the camembert and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the top rind back on top of the cheese.


Step 6


Arrange the pesto pinwheels around the camembert, alternating colours to create a wreath shape. Brush with the beaten egg yolks and sprinkle with reserved mozzarella.


Step 7


Bake in the pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the bread is golden and the camembert is gooey and melted. Remove the camembert lid and top rind and garnish with basil leaves and serve.
