Oh, I love galettes!
I have a thing for rustic looking desserts, free form pastries, things that I imagine a French grandmother with a chignon making. I wish I were a chignoned French grandmother.
I am not.
I foresee a period of obsessive galette making. Yes, I think I'll make a bunch of galette dough tomorrow and freeze it. That is the other great thing about French-type pastry doughs...they freeze beautifully. You can make them and wrap them tightly and then store them for up to 3 months.
I'll tell you something about this fig and apple galette: the small extra something, almost imperceptible but absolutely wonderful part of this galette was brushing it with a homemade orange honey glaze and then sprinkling it with sugar that had been mixed with orange zest.
This dessert makes me anxious for the Fall.
