Seaweed With Pesto Bread Loaf
Hey, it's World Bread Day 2011! Last year I've contributed something fun (here). This year I'm going to contribute another fun flavour of bread for the special day and of course, healthy as well. Seaweed is so popular all around Asia and it's such a nutritious food to consume by all ages. By combining seaweed in bread will helps those who doesn't like the particular greens to consume it easily. And with an extra touch of pesto will definitely keep you awake the whole morning.

Here we go!

Here, I have two different texture of bread with almost the same recipe. Did you notice the difference between the top & the bottom pictures of the bread slice?
The bottom bread slice contains of more bubble holes and the top bread slice looks smoother and nicely rose. Here's the trick! I added in an egg to the top bread recipe.
