Directions
Mix the flour with necessary warm water to make dough like bread.
Add the butter, salt, and baking powder.
Knead and put aside.
Place in a bowl the ricotta cheese and the sugar and mix by hand.
Add the honey and a handful of flour.
Break and add the eggs and half the cinnamon, and mix well.
Butter a pan and with a rolling pin roll out the dough to the size of round pan letting the dough over the edges.
Spread the mixture over the dough and bake in 350℉ (180℃) preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
When ready sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon.
Plan the amount of dough so the whole bread will be about 2 inches in height.
Cut in diamond sections.
