Fig and Honey Galette image

Honey often appears at Rosh Hashanah celebrations as a way to express hope for sweetness in the year to come. In this dessert--a fitting end to any High Holiday celebration--honey-sweetened mascarpone cheese provides a creamy base for fresh figs.

Time 3h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
¼ cup ice water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons honey
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 pints fresh figs, halved
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Pulse together flours, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Add butter and process until mixture is crumbly with some pea-sized pieces. Drizzle with water and lemon juice; pulse a few more times. Transfer dough to a large bowl; gently knead until it comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • Unwrap dough; let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Place on a floured piece of parchment paper and roll out into a 13-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Slide parchment with dough onto a baking sheet.
  • Stir mascarpone in a small bowl until softened. Stir in egg yolk, honey, and vanilla. Spread onto dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange figs in concentric circles on top, alternating light and dark figs if using a mixture. Use parchment to help lift dough edges as you fold dough edges over fruit, pleating as necessary. Leave fruit exposed in the center. Chill, covered, for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Uncover and brush dough edges with milk. Sprinkle entire galette with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden and filling is bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes.
