5. Peel the pears and cut into quarters, remove the seeds. 
6. Transfer dough onto lightly floured or oiled surface and roll to about 1/2 an inch thick.

9. Cover and let them rise for about 20 minutes.
10. Bake in preheated oven to 180c/350f for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. If they brown too quickly you need to cover them with aluminium foil.
