Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

- In a bowl, toss the fresh cranberries with sugar and cornstarch until evenly coated.
- Assemble the Galette:
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Pile the cranberry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a rustic, free-form shape.
- Bake to Perfection:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cranberries are bubbling.
