BLACKBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: Add the flour and salt to a food processor, pulsing several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse on and off until the mixture is crumbly. Slowly add the water with the machine running until the dough begins to form a ball (see notes). Wrap in plastic wrap and press flat into a disc. Chill for at least 30 minutes before using so the butter can firm back up.
• Place an oven shelf on the center rack, then preheat the oven to 400 degrees Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. You don't want the filling to sit for very long before going into the oven, so do this right before rolling out the dough.
• Roll the dough onto a lightly floured surface until it's approximately 12 inches in diameter. You can optionally roll it a bit thinner and then use a pizza cutter to clean up the edges. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. (The best way to do this is to roll the dough around the rolling pin, then unroll it on top of the baking sheet).
• Spread the berries evenly onto the dough, leaving about 2 inches around the edges. Fold the excess dough on top of the cherries in a circle, until you have a tightly formed tart.
• Chill the tart for 10 minutes to firm up the dough. Brush the top of the dough with a light coating of egg wash and a sprinkle of turbinado sugar.
• Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees. Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the dough is firm and the berries are bubbling.
• Allow to cool briefly before serving. Top slices with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

APPLE-BLACKBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse into pea-size pieces. Add 1 egg, the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough clumps together but has not yet formed a ball, gradually adding up to 1 tablespoon more ice water as needed. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap; press into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples, 2 tablespoons sugar and the ginger. Cook, stirring, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Toss the blackberries with the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, the cornstarch, vanilla and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the cooled apples and gently toss to combine.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate 10 minutes.
• Spoon the fruit mixture onto the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edge of the dough over the fruit by about 2 inches, pleating as needed.
• Lightly beat the remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes. Microwave the jelly in a small heatproof bowl until melted, about 45 seconds. Brush over the fruit. Let cool on the baking sheet.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the dough: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, vinegar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size pieces of butter. Whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons water; add to the food processor and pulse until a dough just starts to form. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk, wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper. Remove the top piece of parchment and invert the dough onto the prepared baking sheet; remove the other piece of parchment. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
• Make the filling: Toss the blueberries, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the lemon juice and cornstarch in a bowl. Whisk the cream cheese, egg yolk, the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the nutmeg in a separate bowl.
• Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Top with the blueberries. Fold the edge of the dough over the filling. Drizzle the remaining cream cheese mixture over the berries; refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Put an inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Put the baking sheet with the galette directly on the hot baking sheet in the oven. Bake until the crust is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.

BERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Pulse flour, sugar, and salt together in a food processor. Add butter and cream cheese; pulse until mixture looks like wet sand.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon ice water over the mixture. Pulse until dough just starts to clump together; add a bit more water if it looks very dry.
• Turn dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Gather and gently press together into a cohesive ball. Use the wrap to press dough out into a thick disk. Wrap well and chill until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle, moving dough around frequently to prevent sticking. Trim edges if they look very rough. Fold up dough into quarters. Brush off excess flour and transfer to the baking sheet. Unfold gently.
• Refrigerate dough while preparing the filling.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine berries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl. Pour over berries and toss gently to combine.
• Remove dough from the refrigerator. Spread jam over the middle, leaving a thick border around the edges. Mound berries over the jam. Fold the edges of the dough over the berries and pleat it every few inches.
• Whisk egg and water together. Brush the border of the galette with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is deep golden and juices are bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Check the underside of the galette is also browned. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool before slicing.

BLACKBERRY AND NECTARINE GALETTE

Steps:

• Stir the sour cream and ice water together. Put flour, cornmeal, sugar. and salt into your mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the cold butter and toss to coat with the flour mixture. Using either your hands or a pastry cutter work the butter into the flour until it resembles large crumbs (about the size of peas). Add the sour cream/water and stir with fork to combine.
• Gather the dough and gently press into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This is enough dough for 1 large or 2 smaller galette's, if making 2 divide dough in half and wrap each individually. Dough can be frozen also for later use. Defrost in the refrigerator.
• Place blackberries and sliced nectarines in a bowl, add the sugar, flour, salt and mix together. Set aside.
• Generously sprinkle flour on work surface, roll out the dough to a rustic circle approximately 1/8 inch thick. Place fruit in center and bring the sides up keeping some of the fruit exposed. Brush with egg wash or cream, sprinkle with sugar and bake at 400 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until the galette is golden brown and bubbly.
