- 3 cups flour, plus extra for dusting
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or stand mixer with hook attachment, mix warm water, sugar and yeast together.

- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Pour out onto floured surface. Cut into 15 equal pieces. Shape into rolls or roll into long stripes (like a snake). Make a circle like you are tying a knott. Loop the tails around the circle to make a shamrock or "flower" shape.
- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Bake at 350 degrees F. for 18-20 minutes or until rolls begin to brown.
- When done baking, using a basting brush, cover with remaining basil pesto. ENJOY!
