GBBO Challenge Week 3: Party Pinwheel Bread with Bell Pepper Pesto

Bread week! My favorite week on GBBO, together with pastry. Bread week has a knack of bringing out the best ánd the worst in bakers. And let's not forget that the winner of bread week has quite a big chance of making it to the final (season 1 through 3 saw the winner of bread week winning the whole thing, while Ruby made it to the final last year). Luís has been on my final three list since last week, I'd say he's now statistically a sure thing! But it's Richard whom I have based this week's (showstopper) bake on. I loved his idea of a pinwheel bread, which I later found out is a "kalács" in Hungary. But a party pesto pinwheel bread just alliterates way better, so I stuck with that. I adapted Richard's recipe as I thought his bread was a little too big to be eaten by my four-headed family, and added a bit more liquid. The result is a super tasty bread which will do well on any party or get-together! Tear and share taken to a new level!
