DESSERT GALETTE PASTRY
A galette is a free-form pie, more rustic than a tart, that is baked directly on a sheet pan or baking stone. Although they're usually made with classic buttery pie dough or puff pastry, I've developed this yeasted dough recipe, which is delicate and tasty but not too rich. The yield is enough for two galettes, but has only 60 grams of butter (about four tablespoons). It's sort of a cross between a pizza dough and pie-crust dough, wholesome because of the addition of whole-wheat flour but not heavy. Almond flour contributes a nutty flavor and delicate texture, but it's optional. The trick is to roll it very thin, then freeze it right away so that it doesn't continue to rise and become too bready. Make sure to dust your work surface well before you roll out the pastry, and to let the dough rest for a few minutes after each few passes with the rolling pin so that it doesn't shrink back, as yeast doughs do. If you keep letting it rest, you won't have trouble achieving a thin 12- to 13-inch round.

Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast in the water. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the sugar, and allow the mixture to sit until it is creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg.
- Sift together the flours, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt into a large bowl or into the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle or a large bowl. Add the butter and work with your fingers or beat at low speed until the mixture is crumbly. Add the yeast mixture and stir or beat at low speed until the ingredients come together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently just until the dough is smooth, about a minute. Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly buttered bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise in a draft-free spot until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal pieces. Gently shape each piece into a ball without kneading it, cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Roll out into very thin rounds, about 12 to 13 inches in diameter. If you have a Silpat silicone mat, roll the dough out on the mat; otherwise, use a lightly floured surface and dust regularly with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Cover a pizza pan or a baking sheet with plastic wrap and place the rolled-out dough on top. Wrap the edges of the plastic wrap over the dough and place plastic wrap on top. Roll out the other round, wrap in plastic and place on top of the first round. Freeze until ready to use.

SUMMER FRUIT GALETTES
Here's a quick and easy way to create a beautiful summer fruit dessert. I love to use fresh peaches, strawberries and blueberries, but frozen fruits should also work. You can also use fresh nectarines or apricots in place of the peaches. It will look like you spent hours making this fancy 30 minute dessert! Pairs great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Lay out one pie crust on a baking sheet lined with parchment or on a baking stone, leaving room for the second pie crust next to it.
- Mix together the sliced peaches with half the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of the flour and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a bowl. Pour over one pie crust leaving a 1-inch border. Fold up the uncovered border over the edge of the fruit and pinch into pleats. Sprinkle the crust and fruit filling with 3 tablespoons of turbinado (or raw) sugar.
- Lay out the second pie crust on the baking sheet. Mix together the sliced strawberries, the rest of the blueberries, 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar in the bowl. Pour over the second pie crust and form the galette the same as the first. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of turbinado sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Sprinkle with more sugar if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Work Quickly: Puff pastry is a delicate dough that can easily become tough if it's over-worked. Work quickly and keep the dough cold to prevent it from becoming greasy.
- Chill the Dough: Before rolling out the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will help to prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the galette from sticking.
- Don't Overcrowd the Galette: Leave some space between the fruit filling and the edges of the dough to allow for expansion.
- Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
- Let Cool Before Serving: Let the galette cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Galette is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, it's a great recipe for beginner bakers. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weekday dessert or a special treat for a weekend gathering, galette is sure to impress.
