Cheese and cherry biscuit

40 minutes
Cottage cheese and cherry galette is a refined treat of French cuisine that combines a crispy rye base with a delicate cottage cheese filling and aromatic cherries. This dessert originated as a simple rustic pie made from readily available ingredients but has evolved into a true gastronomic delight over time. The dough made from two types of flour and olive oil gives the galette a pleasant texture, while the sweet-sour notes of cherries harmoniously complement the softness of the cottage cheese. The dish is perfect for both cozy tea gatherings and elegant dessert tables. The galette can be served warm or chilled, with a light dusting of powdered sugar as the finishing touch to enhance its appeal.
1
Sift two types of flour, add baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix olive oil (sunflower oil can also be used) with boiling water, then add to the dry mixture. Knead the dough (if it crumbles, add a bit more boiling water). The dough should feel similar to honey cake dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Let's return to the dough. Roll out the dough thinly (I rolled it out directly on parchment, otherwise it will be difficult to transfer the thin dough), place our cottage cheese mixture in the center with cherries on top, form a galette and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
