Ingredients

1Preheat oven to 350.
2Thaw your broccoli florets in some warm water for just a few minutes. Drain and pat dry as best as you can.
3In a food processor, combine the broccoli, almonds, garlic, cheese, salt and pepper. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin stream, until you get a pesto consistency. Taste and add more salt if needed.
4Roll the loaf out into a square on a floured surface. Spoon the broccoli pesto down the center of the square.
5Using a small paring knife, cut little strips in the dough on either side of the pesto. Then go back and cut out every other strip, allowing for the pesto to be seen through the braid.
6Fold each strip over each other, creating the braid look.
7Slide onto a lightly greased, rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes.
8Slice and serve!
