Video instructions for walnuts and wild garlic bread

I have used the classic sourdough bread. I’m sorry, but on my blog, I don’t have a recipe for making sourdough starter or detailed recipe for bread making, yet. I’ll get around to it eventually, but until then, you can find lots of helpful information on how to make amazing sourdough starter from scratch and also how to make sourdough on the links below.

In the recipe card I’ve listed a recipe for spelt sourdough, which I used to make this bread. You don’t have to use sourdough – you can use any type of dough bread you know how to do! You could also use this pizza dough recipe.

I promise it will be delicious whatever dough you decide to use, because the taste you will get from the main star of the recipe, wild garlic. Walnuts are adding amazing crunchiness and complement the wild garlic pesto perfectly.

Ingredients

Prepared souerdough bread (enough for one loaf) or pizza dough
1 cup wild garlic pesto
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup melted butter
Salt to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
Take the prepared bread dough and roll out into a rectangular shape on a floured surface.
Mix the wild garlic pesto with the melted butter.
Spread a generous layer of the wild garlic pesto evenly over the dough, leaving a small rim around the edges.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the pesto for extra texture and flavour.
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight loaf.
Place the rolled dough, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
Spread the remaining pesto and walnuts over the top of the bread.
Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack until they are slightly warm to the touch.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy the delicious combination of wild garlic pesto and crunchy walnuts in every bite!
This bread is perfect as an appetiser, with a bowl of soup or simply enjoyed on its own as a tasty snack.

What can you use as a substitute for wild garlic pesto in this recipe

If you don’t have ramsons, wild garlic pesto on hand or can’t find it, you can substitute it other types of pestos. The flavour will be different, but it will still be delicious.

Regular basil pesto
You could try using spinach or arugula pesto
Delicious collard green pesto or kale pesto
Or, if you feel adventurous try this amazing crithmum maritimum pesto

Just remember that the flavour profile will change slightly depending on the substitution, but the overall concept of a tasty pesto-filled bread with crunchy walnuts will remain the same.
