Kitchen Equipment Required Mixing Bowls Measuring Cups and Spoons Rolling Pin Baking Sheet Parchment Paper Pastry Brush Knife or Kitchen Scissors Cooling Rack Cooking Time Total estimated time: 1 hour 30 minutes Recipe: Delightful Fruit Galettes Ingredients 125g (1 cup) all-purpose flour 15g (1 tbsp) granulated sugar 1.25g (1/4 tsp) salt 115g (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and diced 30-45ml (2-3 tbsp) ice water 450g (about 3 cups) mixed fresh fruits (like strawberries, blueberries, peaches, or plums) 50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar 5g (1 tsp) cornstarch 5ml (1 tsp) lemon juice 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash) 15ml (1 tbsp) whole milk 10g (1 tbsp) coarse sugar (for sprinkling) Instructions Step 1: Prepare the Dough In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, starting with 30ml (2 tbsp), mixing gently until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Step 2: Prepare the Fruit Filling While the dough chills, wash and prepare your fruits, slicing larger fruits into thin pieces. In a large bowl, gently toss the fruits with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside. Step 3: Roll Out the Dough Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 30 cm (12-inch) circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Step 4: Assemble the Galette Spoon the fruit filling onto the center of the dough, leaving a 5 cm (2-inch) border around the edges. Fold the dough borders over the fruit, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look. In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with milk to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Step 5: Bake the Galette Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Allow the galette to cool on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes before serving. Step 6: Serve Slice the Fruit Galette into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. For an extra treat, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Conclusion Congratulations on crafting a stunning Fruit Galette!
