Quick, easy, and so delicious! Nothing smells better than the aroma of freshly baked bread. This braided pesto bread recipe is so good and it looks impressive too. In the recipe I used a curry-date pesto but you can use any homemade or store-bought pesto you like.

Serve with soups, stews, toasted with butter or enjoy on its own as it is.

For this recipe I used Schär Bread Mix B but you could also use another gluten-free flour blend.
