  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 1 hr 10 min
  • Servings 16

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf (1 pound) frozen pizza crust and Italian bread dough, thawed
  • 1/3 cup pesto
  • 2 tablespoons chopped drained roasted red bell peppers (from 7-ounce jar)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon water

Steps

  • 1
    Grease 2 large cookie sheets. Roll dough on lightly floured surface into rectangle, 16x8 inches. Spread pesto over dough. Cut crosswise into sixteen 1-inch strips.
  • 2
    Twist each strip. Place on cookie sheet; form into candy cane shape. Arrange strips of pepper over twists in dough to cover pesto and look like striped candy cane.
  • 3
    Beat egg white and water; brush over breadsticks. Cover and refrigerate remaining egg white mixture. Cover and let rise in warm place about 30 minutes or until double.
  • 4
    Heat oven to 375°. Brush again with egg white mixture. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Use a drained 2-ounce jar of diced pimientos instead of the roasted red bell peppers.
  • Do not use frozen white bread dough in this recipe. It will not hold the cane shape as well when the dough is rising.
