Give the pastry 5 single turns, allowing proper resting times between each turn. Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1.5 mm and cut into Ø30 cm discs. Let rest. Place the puff pastry trimmings in the refrigerator, then re-roll to a thickness of 1.5 mm. Prick with a fork and let rest. Cut into Ø24 cm discs.
Pipe 350 g of frangipane into a Ø24 cm circle on a sheet of parchment paper. Pipe 60 g of lemon confit on top, then pipe another 140 g of frangipane over it. Smooth the surface and freeze.
Place a Ø24 cm puff pastry disc made from the trimmings over the frozen frangipane insert, then place the entire insert onto a Ø28 cm puff pastry disc.
Moisten the edges of the puff pastry disc with water using a pastry brush and lift the edges to seal the galette. Flip the galette over, lightly moisten the surface, and sprinkle with the combined sugar and buckwheat flour mixture.
Score the top, prick the pastry, and cut a Ø2 cm steam hole (chimney).
Bake in a 170°C convection oven for approximately 35 minutes. Dust with dextrose and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Let cool.
