Mix the eggs, butter, water, honey, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add the flour and stir until just combined. Cover the bowl with plastic and set aside for 2 hours, or until the mixture is puffy and sticky. Split the dough in half and freeze one half for later.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the eggs with ricotta cheese and honey. Add the bite-sized dough pieces and the berries and stir gently once or twice to combine.

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the insides are fully baked.

To serve, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and syrup.
