In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine water, yeast & sugar. Stir & let mixture sit until bubbly about 3-5 minutes.

Add melted butter, pesto, dry milk powder & salt. Using the dough hook, start the mixer & gradually add the flour 1 cup at a time until the dough balls up & does not stick to the sides. Do not add too much flour, it should still be moist.

Once the dough balls up, add the parmesan cheese & let dough knead on low to medium speed for 5-7 minutes.

Turn machine off & pour olive oil on top of the dough, & then turn the dough until all sides have been greased with the olive oil. Cover the bowl with a towel & let dough rest 10 minutes.

Shape dough into a long loaf & place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with a towel & let raise for 30 minutes.
