Prepare the crust and let it rest for half an hour.

Flour the working table to prevent sticking.

Cut the crust in half.

Roll out the first half of the crust until it is the right size for the cake form, making it as thin as possible.

Check the size by placing it over the cake form; continue rolling if necessary.

Spray the cake form with baking spray.

Transfer the rolled crust to the cake form, being careful not to break it, and trim the excess crust.

Use a fork to poke holes in the crust to prevent bubbling during baking.

Spread the filling evenly over the crust, ensuring there are no empty spaces.

Roll out the second half of the crust, again flouring the working table.

Place the second rolled crust on top of the filling and trim the excess crust.

Brush water on top of the crust for decoration.

Use a fork to create a decorative pattern on the top crust.
