HOW TO MAKE IT

Pate Brisee

Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor until combined.

Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces remaining.

Drizzle with 1/3 cup ice water and pulse until mixture holds together when pressed between fingertips.

Add additional water if needed; do not over process.

Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap. Divide in two; knead once or twice. Form into two disks and wrap each in plastic.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Frangipane

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Toast hazelnuts on a baking sheet, stirring once, until deep golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely, about 15 minutes; then grind in a food processor until fine.

Add sugar, butter, flour, egg yolk, liqueur, and salt; process to combine.

Frangipane can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 day; return to room temperature before using.

Fruit

On lightly floured parchment, roll 1 disk pate brisee into a 12-by-10-inch oval, about 1/8 inch thick (reserve remaining disk for another use).

Transfer on parchment to a rimmed baking sheet.

Spread frangipane evenly over dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

Stir together apricots, strawberries, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt.

Arrange fruit mixture in a single layer over frangipane.

Fold dough over fruit, leaving center uncovered. Brush crust with egg white, brushing under folds to help seal.

Bake until golden brown and bubbling in center, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Slide galette off the pan onto a wire rack.

Serve slightly warm or room temperature.

The galette is best eaten the day it's made, but can be stored, lightly tented with foil, for up to one day at room temperature.
