Ingredients
(Rewritten for clarity and consistency.)
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups all‑purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 11 tablespoons (approximately 1⅓ sticks) of cold butter, sliced into ½-tablespoon chunks
- 1 large egg yolk (reserve the white for glazing)
- 3 tablespoons milk
For the Filling:
- 2 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches (roughly 1 pound)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all‑purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons coarse or granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Step‑by‑Step: How to Make Peach Blueberry Galette
- Prepare the Dough: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt until mixed. Add cold butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with milk, then add to the mixture and pulse until dough just comes together. Place the dough on plastic wrap, form it into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Make the Filling: Gently toss peaches and blueberries in a bowl with ¼ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and a pinch of salt until well coated.
- Roll & Assemble: On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the fruit filling into the center, leaving a 1-inch margin around the edges.
- Fold & Glaze: Gently fold the outer edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as needed to create a rustic border. Brush the exposed crust with the reserved egg white, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of coarse or granulated sugar.
- Bake: Bake for around 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool about 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Helpful Tips
- Ensure ingredients stay cold — especially the butter — to achieve a perfectly flaky, tender crust.
- Avoid piling on too much fruit; a shallow layer helps prevent soggy results.
- Bake on the center rack at a moderate 350–375°F to ensure even browning without burning.
- Dot with butter: Add a few small pats of butter over the fruit before baking for extra richness.
- Consider brushing with jam: For shine, brush a little warm apricot jam over the fruit after baking.
Substitutions And Variations
- Try variations like raspberries instead of blueberries or nectarines in place of peaches.
- Use a store-bought pie crust for convenience, or add cornmeal to the dough for a rustic texture.
- Make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.
- Boost flavor with a touch of cinnamon or lemon zest in the filling.
Storage Instructions
- Room temperature: Store leftover galette at room temp for up to 2 days — best enjoyed within that window.
- Refrigeration: Keep covered in the fridge for 2–4 days and reheat in a warm oven to restore crispiness.
- Freezing: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently.
