1

Combine berries, sugar, and tapioca in a medium bowl; let stand 15 minutes or until tapioca softens. Spoon berry mixture into a buttered 11- x 7-inch baking dish, and dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until berries are hot.

Gather dough into a ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5 or 6 times. Pat or roll dough into an 11- x 7-inch rectangle.
