This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have time to roast vegetables and make pesto from scratch.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sandwich loaf didn't rise properly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with more seasoning.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sandwich loaf didn't turn out very well. The vegetables were soggy and the pesto was too strong.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but this sandwich loaf was surprisingly delicious! The roasted vegetables balanced out the strong flavor of the pesto perfectly.
