Apple-Prune Galette

  1. Prepare a hot fire (450F) in a wood-fired oven or cooker.
  2. To make the dough, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl.
  3. Stir with a whisk to blend.
  4. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, rub or cut the butter into the flour until some of the butter is in flakes and the rest is the size of peas.
  5. Stir in the water 1 tablespoon at a time to moisten the dry ingredients.
  6. Form the dough into a ball.
  7. It will still look a little rough with some streaks of butter.
  8. On a floured board, divide the dough into 2 pieces, flatten each piece into a disk, and wrap in plastic.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
  10. Freeze the extra disk of dough for up to 1 month.
  11. To make the filling, cover the prunes with hot water and let soak for 15 minutes.
  12. While the prunes soak, peel and core the apples and cut them into 1/8-inch slices.
  13. Drain the prunes.
  14. Put them in a bowl with the apples and toss with the sugar and liquor.
  15. On a floured board, roll 1 disk of the dough out into a 14-inch round.
  16. Transfer the disk to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel.
  17. Mound the fruit in the middle, leaving a 2-inch border of exposed dough.
  18. Fold the dough over the fruit, pleating it to close as you go around.
  19. Sprinkle the folded-over dough with the 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  20. Slide the galette from the peel directly onto the hearth of the wood-fired oven.
  21. Bake until the crust is brown and the apples yield to the tip of a knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
