2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
0.5 cup simple syrup or
0.5 cup butter unsalted melted
Equipment
food processor
bowl
oven
baking pan
Directions
Break the pastry apart into one or two inch long pieces, separating the strands. (A few pulses of a food process helps with this.)
Mix the butter into the pastry with your hands in a large bowl until coated and press half of it into the bottom of a greased metal baking pan in a thin layer.Pulse the cheeses in a food processor until the mixture reaches the consistency of a coarse meal and press it into the dough in the pan.Press the remaining dough onto the cheese and bake in a preheated 350F oven until lightly golden brown, about 20-30 minutes.
Serve warm covered in syrup or topped with apple and/or pear sauce.
