Servings 1 galette

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces butter, cold and cubed into ¼ inch pieces
  • 8 ounces all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces whole wheat flour
  • 2 ounces sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 3 ounces heavy cream or milk
  • 4 cups of sliced fresh figs
  • 1 pint of raspberries
  • ½ cup of sugar optional
  • 1 egg beaten for wash
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt and pepper. Mix with your fingertips until the mixture is crumbly and the dough resembles cornmeal.
  • Add heavy cream in 2 portions and mix just until the dough comes together. Turn the dough into a smooth ball. Sprinkle some flour on a large pizza sheet (or cookie sheet without a lip on the sides) and roll the dough into a ⅛ inch thick rectangle 12 x 16 inches. This makes it easier to slip the galette off after baking.
  • Spread the sliced figs evenly on top leaving about 4-5 inches of dough on each side uncovered. Spread the raspberries on top and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the entire fruit. Fold over the dough over the fruit all around. Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle sliced almonds on the crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust appears golden and cooked. Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
