Just follow the simple steps and let the oven do the rest.

9.Pour the berry mixture over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border.
10.Fold the edges of the dough over the berry mixture, creating pleats as you go.
11.Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the edges of the dough.
12.Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
