Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 grams Salt
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 60 ml Ice water
- 300 grams Fresh fruit or savory filling (e.g., sliced apples, berries, tomatoes, etc.)
- 15 ml Honey or savory glaze (optional)
- 1 whole Egg (for egg wash)
- 15 ml Heavy cream (optional for egg wash)
- 10 grams Coarse sugar or salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter.
Drizzle the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, over the mixture and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter and about 3 mm (1/8 inch) thick.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Pile your desired filling (e.g., fruit or savory vegetables) in the center of the dough, leaving a 5 cm (2-inch) border around the edge.
Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary to create a rustic edge. The center filling should remain exposed.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the heavy cream (if using) to create an egg wash. Brush the exposed dough with the egg wash.
Sprinkle coarse sugar (for sweet fillings) or coarse salt (for savory fillings) over the edge of the dough, if desired.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and cooked through.
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes.
Drizzle the filling with honey (for sweet fruit galettes) or a savory glaze (if desired) before serving.
Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
