Description
A delightful pastry combining the sweetness of ripe peaches with the tartness of mixed berries, creating a perfect balance of flavors in a rustic galette.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
- 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 medium peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on sweetness of fruit)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Add chilled butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine mixed berries and sliced peaches. Add sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the fruit.
- Assemble the Galette: Roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the fruit filling into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges over the filling.
- Bake the Galette: Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Let the galette cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor.
- Frozen berries can be used; thaw and drain them well.
- Adjust sugar based on the ripeness of the fruit.
- Chill the dough to maintain its shape during baking.
