Ingredients

  • 4 eggs (beaten, room temperature if possible)
  • 3/4 cup butter, (melted)
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry active yeast
  • 4 cups Manny’s Choice Flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 –2 cups raspberries and/or blueberries

Directions

  1. Dough: Mix the eggs, butter, water, honey, salt & yeast in a bowl. Add the flour and stir until just combined (you can just use a wooden spoon for this – no mixer necessary). Cover with plastic & set aside (at room temp) for about 2 hours or until puffy & sticky. Split the dough in half and freeze one half for later. Coat your hands & your surface with plenty of flour, roll out the remaining half batch, and cut it into bite sized pieces.

  2. Filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk the eggs with the ricotta cheese & honey. Add the bite sized dough pieces and the berries. Stir gently just once or twice to combine.

  3. Bake: Transfer to a greased 9×13 casserole dish and bake for 30-ish minutes, until the top is golden brown & the insides are fully baked. Sprinkle with powered sugar & syrup.
