Peach and Blueberry Galette
🇫🇷 France
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (170g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup (50-78ml) ice water
- 3 tbsp (23g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp (18g) ground almonds
- 1 lb (453g) peaches, halved and pitted
- 1/3 lb (150g) blueberries
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg yolk, for brushing
- 2 tbsp peach jam (optional)
Steps
- Mix flour, salt, and butter with your fingers or in a food processor until crumbly with pea-size butter bits.
- Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together into a rough ball. Avoid overmixing.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) with a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the 3 tbsp all-purpose flour with the 3 tbsp ground almonds. Set aside.
- Cut each peach half into 6 slices. Combine peach slices with blueberries, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Toss gently to coat.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 16-inch circle, about 1/6 inch thick.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the flour-almond mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Arrange the peach and blueberry mixture on top of the dough.
- Fold the dough edges up and over the fruit to form a 1.5 to 2-inch border.
- Brush the folded edges with beaten egg yolk.
- Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the crust edges are golden and dry.
- Optional: Warm the peach jam briefly and strain if needed. Brush over the baked fruit for a glossy finish.
- Let the galette cool for 30 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
The flour-almond mixture under the fruit helps absorb juices and keep the crust from becoming soggy.
