  • Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/4 inch thick, the exact size and shape does not matter. Cut into 1-inch strips with a knife or pizza cutter.
  • Arrange the strips in a 2.5-quart casserole dish to form ribbony walls evenly throughout the dish. Add the blackberries between the dough.
