Directions

["Melt the butter, and combine with the milk and 1 beaten egg. Stir in the yeast. Let sit until the yeast begins to form bubbles, about 5-10 minutes.", "In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and salt. Once combined, add the milk mixture and mix until liquid is fully incorporated into the dough. Using your hands or a dough hook, knead the dough until it's soft and springy - about 8 minutes (it should pass the windowpane test). If dough is too wet to knead, add more flour in small increments until it's workable.", "Place dough in a large bowl coated in oil, cover with a cloth, and let sit in a warm place until approximately doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.", "Make the pesto: combine all pesto ingredients in a food processor and process until combined.", "Grease two 9-by-4-inch loaf pans. Divide the dough in half. Setting half aside for the second loaf, begin by rolling the first half out on a well floured surface to about a 10\" by 10\"" square.""
