What is a Galette?

A galette is a broad term used to describe a French tart made with one flat piece of dough that is wrapped around a fruit filling. The shape can vary from round to a more free-style shape and the texture can range from a crusty cake to a pastry or pancake. This unique dessert is easy to prepare and bakes to perfection on a baking sheet in the oven!

Dough:

All purpose flour: Adds structure and strength to the dough. Butter: Cut in the butter into the flour in your food processor. The fat will add flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Cold water: Using cold water will keep your dough colder and will not absorb into the flour as easily which will create the perfect texture in your finished galette.

Filling:

Strawberries: Add sweet with a slightly sour taste and bright red color. Blueberries: More acidic sweet taste and deep purple color. Blackberries: Tart and sweet flavor packed berries. Sugar: Even more sweetness to add to balance tart or sour flavors. Cornstarch: To thicken the filling and keep it from getting too soggy.

Egg Wash:

Egg: Adds a great color and shine to the top of the galette. Water: Combine with the egg to make a natural glue for the sugar topping. Turbinado sugar: A more course, round, and darker sugar that is less processed and great to add to the top of this fruit galette.
