    What is Galette or Crostata?

    Galette is a word used in French cuisine, and similarly, Crostata in Italian cuisine means a flat round cake or rustic pastry with hand-folded edges. The best part that I love about the galettes is that once you have the pie dough or pie crust ready you can fill it with almost anything, sweet or savory.

    I recommend using in-season fruits to get the best results. Having said that, you are free to use frozen fruits too.

    Some of my favorite sweet galettes are STRAWBERRY GALETTE,  peach galette, apple galette, mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) galette, blueberry pecan galette, blueberry peach galette, or galettes filled with rhubarb, figs, apricots, etc... Oh, I can go on. I am not naming these just like that. I have tried most of these. My family has sweet tooth you see 🙂

    And when it comes to savory galettes, I love cherry tomato and cheese galette, zucchini galette, heirloom tomato galette, etc.

    Why Blueberry Galette?

    Berries are one of my favorite fruit. They are pretty with a sweet and tart flavor combination, and above all, my son just loves berries. These are packed with antioxidants, vitamin C, and vitamin K. If you are following my blog you will know how much I love to make desserts with berries. STRAWBERRY BLUEBERRY PANNA COTTA - American flag dessert or patriotic dessert and Easy Homemade Blackberry Breakfast Bars are one of the most popular recipes on my blog prepared using berries.

    And coming to the dough to make a galette

    I love to make pastry dough or pie crust from scratch. It is one of the easiest recipes to try when you start baking. But if you want a quick dessert then feel free to use store-bought pie crust or dough. There are tons of brands that sell excellent pie crusts. Use your favorite ones.

    Are you a puff pastry lover?

    If yes, then you can also make these galettes using puff pastry sheets also.

    You don't need any pie pan to prepare this dessert. Flat baking surface - cookie sheet, pizza pan is sufficient. This dessert can be served as it is or with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

    Ingredients for Blueberry Galette or Crostata

    For the pastry dough or pie crust
    1 ½ cups  all-purpose Flour
    ½ cup cold Butter cubed ( 1 stick)
    ½ teaspoon Salt
    2 teaspoon Sugar
    ¼ to ½ cup Ice cold water, divided (add as needed in 1 tablespoon increments)

    For the Galette filling
    3 cups Blueberries
    2 tablespoon Corn starch
    ⅓ cup Sugar (adjust to taste depending on sweetness of berries)
    1 ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
    ⅛ teaspoon Salt (a pinch)
    Zest of ½ lemon or lime
    Juice of ½ lemon or lime

    Other Ingredients
    1 Egg for egg wash (for the eggless version you can brush with cream or whole milk or water)
    3 tablespoon Turbinado Sugar or Coarse Sugar to sprinkle on top
    Ice cream for serving if desired

    Steps to prepare Blueberry Galette or Crostata
    Step I (Prepare the pastry dough or pie crust. If using store-bought pie crust, skip this step)
    • In a large mixing bowl, add flour, salt, and sugar. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until butter is well blended. Small speckles or pieces of butter combined with flour, sugar, and salt are what we are aiming for.
    • Sprinkle ice cold water over this flour mixture 1 tablespoon at a time and mix it using your hands till it comes together to form a dough ball. The amount of water depends on the brand of flour too. If you add too much water, then add extra flour and adjust accordingly (You may also use a food processor to complete the above two steps.)
    • Warp the dough in plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

    Step II (Prepare the filling)
    • In another bowl, add blueberries, corn starch, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, lemon zest, juice, and toss. (Here you can adjust ingredients as per taste depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
    Step III (Assemble the galettes and bake)
    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    • Unwrap the dough onto a floured surface and divide them into 3 balls to make 3 galettes.
    • Working one at a time, adding extra flour as needed, use a rolling pin to roll each ball about 1/16 to ⅛th inch thick. Carefully transfer this to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (Alternatively, you can make one galette of  12 or 14 inch round or 6 mini galettes)
    • Divide the blueberry filling into 3 galettes at the center of the dough leaving 1 inch on the edges so that it can be folded up to encase the filling.
    • Gently fold the crust edges up in an overlapping fashion and pleat the dough. Make sure there are no cracks.
    • Brush the folded galette crust with egg wash or water or milk, and then sprinkle it with sugar.
    • Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. (Baking time varies depending on the size, thickness of the galette). Transfer the galette to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
    • Blueberry Galette is ready. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and enjoy.
    Tips to make the best & easy galette at home
    • I have used just blueberries. You can make a mixed berries galette or a galette with a combination of fruits. Some best blueberry pairings are blueberry and peaches, blueberries and pecan, blueberry and nectarine.
    • The amount of filling you add to the dough can be varied as desired.
    • Vary the amount of sugar to taste.
    • For best results use in-season fruits. Summer for berries 🙂
    • If you are making galette in the fall season nothing can beat the apple galette. Simply sauté chopped apples in cinnamon, sugar, and butter and then use this as a filling.

    Can I use frozen berries?

    Yes. Take the berries out from the freezer just before you assemble your filling or use thawed berries.

    How to store leftover Blueberry Galettes?

    Leftover galettes can be stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, fridge for 3 to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

    Can I make this blueberry galette vegan?

    Yes. Simply make the pie crust dough vegan by substituting butter with vegan butter. All the other ingredients remain the same. Instead of egg wash use dairy-free milk or water.

    How to prevent galette or pastry from the soggy bottom?

    While mixing the filling, don't miss adding corn starch or flour, or tapioca. This is added so that the juices from the fruits are absorbed as the galette bakes and prevents the crust from having a soggy bottom.
