Easy Blueberry Galette Food

EASY BLUEBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Add the flour, sugar and salt to the bowl of your food processor (or a large bowl if your making the dough by hand).
• Turn the food processor on low speed and add the chunks of cold butter one at a time while the food processor runs until all the butter is added and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.If making by hand, use a pastry blender or your hands to work the butter into the dough until the mixture is crumbly. Try not to handle the butter too much (the heat from your hands will soften it) - use quick movements and don't worry if some larger chunks of butter still remain.
• Add the lemon juice and the water slowly as the food processor runs on low, just until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Depending on the weather and even on the brand of flour, I use anywhere between 5 and 8 tablespoons of water. If making by hand, use your hands to form the dough gently and quickly using just enough water for the dough to come together.
• Dump the rough dough onto the counter and form it into two disc shapes and wrap it in plastic, placing it in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or overnight.
• Add the blueberries to a bowl, along with the cornstarch, sugar, salt and lemon juice and zest. Toss just until combined.
• Set the filling aside while you prepare the crust for baking.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If your oven runs hot, set it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. (Use an oven thermometer to ensure the correct temperature)
• Remove the chilled pie dough from the fridge and let it sit for about 10 minutes before rolling. Roll out the ball of dough into a large circle using a rolling pin. Add a generous amount of flour to the rolling surface and to the rolling pin, to prevent sticking and cracking.
• Peel the rolled out dough off the counter surface gently by rolling it backwards onto the rolling pin.
• Transfer it to baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• Add the blueberry filling and pile it into the middle of the dough, leaving a large edge.
• Fold the edges of the dough up onto the pile of blueberry filling, creating the edge crust. pinch the pieces you fold up into each other to seal them shut (so the filling can't escape).
• Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon of water and brush it lightly onto the unbaked crust. Use a light hand while brushing - too much egg wash creates an eggy texture after baking.
• Dust the crust with the coarse sugar and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
• Let the galette cool to room temperature before slicing and serving with whipped cream or ice cream.

MINI BLUEBERRY GALETTES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, stir together blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt and lemon zest and juice.
• Cut the pie crusts into 6 circles with a 4 1/2-inch round cutter. Lift the circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Place about 1/4 cup of the blueberry mixture into the center of each circle. Gently fold over the edges to cover approximately 1 inch of the filling.
• Brush the egg wash around the edge of each pastry. Sprinkle the crusts with sugar and bake until the crusts are golden and the filling is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

BLUEBERRY AND PEACH GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out room temperature pie crust on parchment paper placed on a baking sheet. Make sure you use the parchment paper because the mixture will leak out!
• Mix blueberries and peaches with flour, sugar and lemon juice in large bowl until completely mixed.
• Add fruit mixture to the middle of the pie dough and turn up sides of dough all around. The dough will overlap at certain areas. This is okay, it makes it rustic!
• Mix egg white and milk together with whisk in small bowl and brush on the pie crust edges. Sprinkle sugar over wet dough.
• Bake in oven for 1 hour.
• Cool before serving.
