I just made a loaf of the bread. It is awesome! I accidentally powdered buttermilk instead of regular milk, and it worked out great! Thanks for the recipe! (Although, my dough ended up being very dry, which caused it to not come together. Just some water clears that problem right up.)

My pesto ended up being very very liquidy, so for anyone else that has very liquidy pesto, I recommend blotting it with a paper towel after you put it on the dough so that it doesnt become a mess.
