Instructions

Prepare the mixed berries:

1. Remove the berries from the package(s) and place in a bowl and sprinkle the sweetener on top, then mix carefully.
2. Set aside.

Directions for the crust:

1. Melt shredded mozzarella cheese and the cut-up butter in the microwave for 1-1.5 minutes until the butter is melted or at least soft enough to stir with no lumps left.
2. Stir quickly once all is melted.
3. Mix thoroughly then add the baking mix, sweetener, and baking powder to the top of all the wet ingredients and mix in with a big heavy fork or spoon.
4. *This will mix a little better if you return it to the microwave and heat for 10-15 seconds before adding the egg.
5. When it is well mixed add the egg to the top and mix in well again.
7. Use a large cutting board or the back of the large baking pan to roll the dough out between two large pieces of parchment.
8. Stop periodically and raise the top sheet of parchment to coax the dough into a round shape.*
9. Make a circle of dough roughly 12" diameter or at least large enough to have at least an inch of pastry to fold over the berry mixture once it's added.
10. Carefully fold the dough in half by placing your hand under the bottom sheet of parchment and folding it over the top sheet.
11. Once it's folded remove the top folded sheet of the parchment and then place the folded crust in the skillet with the remaining parchment paper inside to keep the dough pieces from touching each other. Unfold the dough and position it in the middle of the skillet as much as possible and then remove the remaining layer of parchment.
12. Spoon the berry mixture into the pastry and carefully fold the edges over the berries.
13. Brush the crust top with egg white.
14. Sprinkle the crust with the extra granulated sweetener like pyure or xylitol or Swerve.
15. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until you see a deep golden brown crust.
16. Oven temps will vary so keep a check on it.
