Steps:
- Preparing the dough: Place the flour in a bowl, with the salt, the sugar and the butter.

- Place the stuff inside the dough and fold the ends so it sticks to the mold.
- Place over the stuff a layer of sliced pears without peel. Paint the borders with the Egg white and place it inside a preheated oven at 180ºC during 45 minutes or until it is cooked and golden.
