Summer wouldn't be summer without a BBQ. This baguette is quick to make and complements any BBQ buffet. It's also a great way to use up pesto leftovers. Of course, any kind of pesto can be used for this recipe, red or green, vegan or with parmesan. Have fun trying out different variations and enjoy a BBQ-filled summer.
