Cottage Cheese Dough Galette with Apple and Caramel / Easy French Pie

Prepare the dough by using a mixer (hand or stand) and add gluten-free baking mix and salt.

Cut very cold butter into cubes and add to the mixer, mixing at medium speed until it forms crumbs.

Add all the cottage cheese at once to the bowl and mix until it starts to come together into a large lump.

Finish kneading the dough by hand to make it as uniform as possible, forming a nice smooth ball.

Wrap the dough and put it in the fridge for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling by grating lemon zest and adding it to a bowl.

Core the apples and pears, then slice them thinly and transfer to the bowl with the lemon zest.

Add brown sugar and caramel to the bowl with the apple and pear mixture, heating the caramel if it's too cold to mix well.

Mix everything together to combine the filling.

Roll out the dough after removing it from the fridge, warming it with your hands a bit.

Sprinkle flour on the rolling pin and mat, flatten the dough with hands before rolling it out to a diameter of 25 cm (around 10 inches).

Place the filling on the rolled-out dough, leaving the edges free.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a galette.

Brush the edges with egg for a more beautiful finish.

Bake in a preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
