Simply delicious and easy to make!

INGREDIENTS

Yeast dough

roughly chopped 3 medium garlic cloves

roughly chopped 4½ ounces aged provolone

1 head of broccoli

chopped oil-packed Calabrian chilies (about 3)

3 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon Maldon or another flaky sea salt

METHOD

Make the pesto: Working in batches if necessary, combine the broccoli rabe, provolone, garlic, chili, olive oil, and Maldon salt in a food processor and process, pulsing and stirring occasionally, to a chunky paste with no large pieces of garlic or cheese.
Bake the buns: roll the dough so it measures about 38 by 23 cm. You might need to wait a bit until the chill comes off so it’s easier to roll, but don’t let it get warm.
Trim off the end so the sides are nice and straight. Cut the log crosswise in 3 cm thick slices.
Spread the pesto evenly onto the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Roll the dough the short way to form about 38 cm, 6 cm thick log. Wet the fingers of one hand and run them along the seam, then turn the log seam side down and press down gently so the seam adheres.
Preheat the oven to 220 C, 20 to 25 minutes. Bake the buns in the center of the oven until they’re croissant-golden-brown and crispy. Gently pry them out of the tray and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
