Summer Ricotta Galette

Happy 4th of July! We are kicking off this holiday with a refreshing dessert that has lemon zest in the dough! We are heading to a BBQ and I decided to make this recipe with a combination of blueberries and strawberries inside to get the full 'red, white, & blue' experience this holiday. This dessert smells so good and I just know it will taste amazing too. Enjoy your long weekend!

Ingredients

Dough:
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- zest of half a lemon
- 8 tbsp. butter, cold and cut into pieces

Filling:
- 2 cups of fruit, I used 1 cup of blueberries and 1 cup of strawberries (sliced)
- 4 tbsp. sugar

Glaze:

- 1 tsp. water

1. To make the dough, mix your flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest together.
2. Put your butter pieces in the bowl and mix together with your hands until tiny balls of dough form.
3. In a small bowl, whisk your ricotta and water together. Add it to your flour mixture and mix in your Kitchenaid mixer until a ball of dough forms.

5. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
6. Roll out your dough on parchment paper.
