How to cook deliciously - Pesto Pizza Stuffed Star Bread

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375°. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece to an 11" circle. Place one circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread 3 tablespoons pesto over dough in an even layer, then top with 1/4 cup mozzarella. Top with a second piece of dough. Repeat with remaining pesto, mozzarella, and pizza dough, leaving the top layer of dough bare. Brush top layer with oil and sprinkle with Parmesan.

2. Stage

Place a bowl or glass with a 3" diameter in the center of dough. Using a sharp knife, cut circle into 16 equal strips, starting at bowl and going all the way to edge, making sure to cut through all of the layers. Remove bowl.

3. Stage

Take 2 strips next to each other and twist away from each other 4 times. Pinch edges together to create a point. Repeat with remaining strips to create 8 points.

4. Stage

Bake stuffed bread until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with marinara alongside.
