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

Scale

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.
