  • In a mixing bowl sift the flour, baking powder and salt, then stir in the dried herbs.
  • Add the olive oil and mix in until crumb-like.
  • Stir in the milk to make a stiff dough.
  • Lightly flour a board or bench and roll the dough out into a rectangle about 12 x 10 inches (30 x 25cm).
  • Spread the pesto over the dough leaving about the width of a finger on one of the lengths. Sprinkle over the grated cheese.
