Ingredients
Galette Dough
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour unbleached
- 1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp sea salt fine
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 3 tbsp ice cold water
Blueberry Filling
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar
Instructions
Galette Dough
- Combine flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
- Add cubed butter to food processor then pulse until butter is reduced to the size of small peas and mixture resembles damp sand.
- Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until dough forms.
- Remove dough from food processor then, using your hands, form dough into a ball.
- Flatten dough into the shape of a disk, wrap in plastic wrap then refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
Blueberry Filling
- Place blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch in a large bowl. Stir until combined then set aside until dough is chilled.
Assembly
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove chilled dough from the refrigerator. Let it set at room temperature for 15 minutes then roll out on a floured surface with a rolling pin until the dough circle measures 14 inches in diameter.
- Gently transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon blueberry filling and juices onto the center of dough, leaving a 2 inch boarder around the perimeter.
- Carefully fold dough up and over the edges of the berry filling, overlapping as you go. Pinch dough edges to seal.
Egg Wash
- Whisk together egg and heavy cream in a small bowl.
- Brush dough edges with egg wash then sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake
- Bake galette for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling hot.
- Remove from oven and allow the galette to rest on the baking sheet for 15 minutes to cool.
- Serve plain, with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Cover and store leftovers at room temperature up to 2 days.
