Directions

To make Pesto:
Place spinach, basil, pinenuts, broccoli and parmesan in a food processor and pulse until combined.
Turn speed to low and add olive oil in a gradual stream. Continue processing until desired consistency reached.
For a slightly runnier pesto, add water.Add half the lemon juice, pulse, then taste.
Add the remaining juice as you wish. Add salt to taste.
Store in a jar, covering the top with olive oil to prevent oxidisation. Keep refrigerated.
Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups.
To make dough:
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Place yoghurt and self-raising flour in mixing bowl and slowly mix with a dough hook until combined (alternatively you can use a food processor).
Dough will still be very sticky so slowly add the additional flour until it appears more dough-like.
Turn out onto a floured board or bench and knead, adding flour as necessary.
Knead for 3-4 minutes then roll out and shape into rectangle, approximately 1/2 cm thick and the shape and size of a lamington tray.
Spread dough with 1/2 cup pesto and sprinkle with cheese.
Carefully roll tightly, starting from the short side.
Once rolled into a log, use a sharp knife to cut into 10 x 1cm thick slices.
Flatten slightly and place on baking paper lined tray.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cheese has melted.
