Let me tell you about my good friend, the galette. If you’re not an avid baker, this magical creation is the key to people thinking that you ARE one. They’re quick, easy, and best of all, the messier the better. Just roll out the dough, pile your choice of fruit in the middle, fold the edges over, and bake.
