Ingredients
  • Crust:
  • 1⅓ cups + 3 Tbsp flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) frozen butter, grated
  • 5 Tbsp ice water
  • .
  • Filling:
  • 5 bosc pears, sliced thin
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 200g ricotta cheese
  • ⅓ cup walnut pieces
  • Honey, to serve
Instructions
  1. In food processor, combine flour, salt and sugar. Add in butter and pulse until crumbly. Pour water over mixture and pulse until a crumbly dough forms. Remove from processor, roll into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Toss pears with brown sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; roll dough into a 12-inch circle on top of the baking sheet. Sprinkle a thin layer of flour on top of the dough to prevent the crust from getting soggy.
  4. Spread ricotta evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Top with pears, fold over edges, and bake 30-40 minutes until pears have caramelized and crust has browned. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing. Top with walnuts and a generous drizzle of honey.
