THE DOUGH
1 Mix the flours and salt into a large bowl. Rub the flour and butter together using your fingertips until the mix resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, and a tablespoon of cold water to bring the dough together.
2 Form the dough into a ball and wrap it with film. Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
THE FRUIT:
1 Peel, halve and core the apples, cut into slices.
Place in a large bowl.
Halve the plums and remove the stones, and cut into slices.
Add to the bowl, together with the berries mix.
2 Add the cornflour, sugar, lemon zest and juice.
THE DOUGH
3 Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, or 180. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
4 Roll out the dough into a large circle, about 3-5mm thick, on a lightly floured surface. Using the rolling pin, transfer the dough to the baking tray and place the tray in the fridge while preparing the fruit.
THE FRUIT:
3 Remove the pastry from the fridge. Pour the fruit on top and fold the dough over the fruit and press gently to seal.
4 Whisk together the water with turmeric in an small bowl. Brush the edges and sprinkle with flaked almonds.
5 Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Let the galette cool for five minutes before serving.
