Description
Peach Blueberry Galette bakes fresh peaches and blueberries in a buttery freeform pastry crust for an easy, elegant summer dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 11 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/2-tablespoon pieces
- 1 egg yolk, with the white reserved for glazing
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, about 1 pound
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar or granulated sugar
Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the butter breaks into small pieces and the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Whisk the egg yolk with the milk, add it to the dough, and pulse just until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto plastic wrap, press it into a flat disk, wrap it tightly, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently toss the peaches and blueberries with the sugar, flour, and pinch of salt.
- Roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Arrange the fruit in the center of the dough, leaving about 1 inch of dough uncovered around the edge.
- Fold the outside edge of the dough over the fruit, pleating as needed.
- Brush the exposed crust with beaten egg white and sprinkle sugar over the crust and fruit.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, until the crust turns light brown and the filling bubbles.
- Let the galette cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Keep the butter cold for the flakiest crust.
- Use ripe but firm peaches so the filling stays juicy without turning watery.
- Bake on parchment paper to catch any bubbling fruit juices.
- Let the galette cool for 10 minutes before slicing so the filling can settle.
