I love making this with my basic roll dough. If you’re in a bind or bread intimidates you, use a thawed/frozen bread dough loaf. It is really simple to make and disappears in a flash. Once your dough is ready, you roll it out, baste with olive oil and season. Then you roll it up and place it in the bundt pan to rise. Then bake and enjoy!
Artisan bread in a flash.
This is a great recipe to experiment on. We have put pesto, pepperoni and a variety of cheeses in different combinations to flavor the bundt. The sky’s the limit! Making artisan bread couldn’t be easier with this Basil Swirl Bread. If you like seasoned bread, try my Garlic Pull Apart Bread.
