  4. To make pesto, you need to crush the Basil leaves and all the other ingredients in a mixer into a paste. I don't have a photo, because when I did it, I didn't know that I would need photos. You can also use ready-made store-bought pesto. So, roll out half of the dough into a rectangle 3 mm thick and lay out half of the pesto, distribute it over the surface, leaving free edges on all sides about 2 cm. Fold the sides inwards and press them down.
