2. Then prepare the buns. Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a large bowl. Add warm water and mix using a dough hook at low speed. Add pesto sauce and mix until smooth. Knead the dough for 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a lid, and let it rise for about an hour, until the dough doubles in volume.
