After 30 minutes, turn out the dough on to a floured surface, knead until smooth & stretchy.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and place in bowls. Cover with cling film, allow to rise for 2 hours or until they have doubled in size.
After rise. Roll each dough ball out into a large rectangle.
Spread pesto over the entire surface of each one.Roll up each rectangle with the pesto filling inside.
Cut down the centre of each roll. You should now have 4 long strips ( see video)

Once braided, cover loosely with cling film, allow to swell a little for 30 minutes.
