Divide the dough in two, roll one out about half an inch thick, spread with soft butter, then roll out the other half same size, place over the flrst one and bake in a greased pan. As soon as they are baked separate them, and when cold, put a thick layer of sweetened strawberries between the two crusts, sprinkle the upper crust with sugar.
