Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
3 to 5 tablespoons ice water
Filling and assembly:
3 cups sliced fruit (plums, peaches, apples) and/or fresh or frozen berries
4 tablespoons sugar, plus more for dusting
Pinch salt
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust:
  • Stir together the flour, sugar, and salt, then add the cold butter and toss to combine. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour, pinching it between your thumbs and fingers until you've got a ragged mixture with irregular pieces of butter still intact, the largest about the size of an almond. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the ice water over the mixture and use a fork to quickly incorporate. Keep adding water by the ½ tablespoon until it appears just moistened-a dough that's too wet will lead to a tough crust, so err on the side of it seeming a little dry. Dump the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap. Working from the outside of the plastic, shape it into a flat disc. Wrap, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Prepare the filling:
  • Using the same bowl as for the crust, combine the fruit, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, and the salt. In a small bowl, stir together the flour and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • Place the chilled dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll into a circle about 13 inches in diameter. Roll from the center, rotating 90 degrees after each roll, and adding a bit more flour as needed if the dough sticks. Drape the rolled dough over a rolling pin and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the flour-sugar mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a clean rim of about an inch, and pile the fruit on top. Fold the crust around over the fruit, pleating rustically as you go. Brush the exposed pastry with water, then sprinkle generously-over the crust and the fruit, too-with sugar. Transfer to the oven and bake until the fruit juices are bubbling in the center and the crust is golden, 50 to 60 minutes, or more depending on the fruit.
  • Serve warm, with fresh whipped cream or ice cream, or cold, perhaps for breakfast, with yogurt.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my galette didn't turn out very good. The crust was tough and the fruit filling was bland.
