Description
Packed with fresh peaches and blueberries, this galette is the ultimate late summer dessert. Can be made with plums and apples depending on season.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180g)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (7g)
1/4 teaspoon salt (1g)
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed into 1/2” pieces (113g)
1/3 cup ice water (80mL)
For the Filling:
4 large peaches, pitted, and thinly sliced
12oz fresh blueberries (340g)
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (15g)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (30g)
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (12g)
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons melted butter (28g)
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
- Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix in half of the cold butter. Squeeze the butter cubes between your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Add the remaining butter and repeat the process until the largest pieces of butter are about the size of peas.
- Slowly drizzle ice water over the dough, a little at a time, and bring it together by kneading 3 to 4 times. Add water only until the dough holds together—avoid over-moistening.
- Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, blueberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
4. Assemble the Galette:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 14-inch round.
- Transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the fruit filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-2 inch border all the way around the edges.
- Fold the dough edges up and over the filling, pleating the dough as you go to create a rustic border. Press lightly to seal the folds.
5. Brush and Bake:
- Brush the folded edges of the galette with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the pastry generously with turbinado sugar for a crunchy texture.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the galette to cool on the parchment-lined baking sheet for 15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or gelato.
Notes
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the galette dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 2 days or freeze it for 1 month.
- Fruit Substitutions: You can substitute peaches with nectarines, plums, or even apples depending on the season.
- Flour and Water: The amount of water used in the crust may vary based on humidity, so add it slowly until the dough comes together without being sticky.
- Turbinado Sugar: This coarse sugar adds a nice crunch to the crust. If you don’t have it, you can use regular granulated sugar.
