Pullapart Green Bread Pestos

Pull-apart Green Bread

This outrageous green beauty has recently become a brand-new staple in my supercharged kitchen. It’s the perfect pull-apart bread to tear and share, and fantastic for a healthy and hearty breakfast with an endless variety of toppings or leftovers. Packed with greens and fresh herbs, it’s also a good sandwich option, and one that’s simple to make. Experiment with your favourite herbs and seasonings. I enjoy mine topped with avocado, hummus and oven-roasted tomatoes.
