To assemble the Wild Garlic Bread Tear & Share
Line the baking tin with baking parchment
Roll out the dough into a rectangle shape about 24 x 46 cm (9 x 18") and 1.5 cm (0.5 ") thick.
Spread the Wild Garlic Pesto over the dough.
Cover the pesto with 75 g of grated cheese.
Roll the dough from the long side into a swiss roll shape.
Cut the dough into 4 cm (1.5 in) slice with a sharp knife and place close together, flat side up, in a roasting tin or deep-sided baking tray.
Drizzle with the olive oil and scatter the remaining grated cheese over the top.
Cover and leave to prove for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 220C (200C Fan), 425F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Leave for 20 minutes until the bread is cooled a little, then tear and share, the warm rolls.
