Bread Question

[NashVegas]

I'm making a few (Italian) loaves Thursday morning and was thinking about trying to do one up as a pesto loaf.

Can I brush pesto sauce right onto the dough before a fold, or will the oil screw it up?

1. My thinking would be cut back on the oil in the pesto specially since

when the cheese and nuts cookl their oils will just add to it. Is it homemade pesto?

2. No

I was thinking about being lazy and using store-bought.

3. Then put it in the fridge so the oil congeals on top. Scrape the oil off

and give it a try. I know when I've just scooped store bought pesto onto a pizza it becomes a lake of oil. Thats my suggestion
