| Yummy Berry Galette…this would be great with so many different combos…what next? |
This week our pick for Tuesdays with Dorie ~ Baking with Julia was, a Berry Galette. When I saw this recipe, I knew immediately the fruit I would use in my galette... Blackberries!! My garden is sprouting beautiful big juicy blackberries! Not enough for a pie yet but, plenty for the galette. I decided to add a peach to the berries…because I love that combination!

Yesterday morning, I started out by making the crust, using my food processor. It made mixing this dough quite easy. The dough calls for flour and cornmeal, placed in the bowl of the food processor, with the salt and sugar. I then added three tablespoons of plain yogurt, mixed with about ¼ cup of ice water. I went light on the water, watching the consistency of the dough. At first this dough was a bit sticky. However, after sprinkling with a bit of flour it was fine. When I finished mixing I made two disks, wrapped them in plastic wrap, and refrigerated them for several hours. This dough not only came together easily, but rolled out beautifully!
When it was time to put the galette together, I followed a tip from the Ps&Qs on rolling this dough out.
Shiloh of Cheese with Noodles suggested rolling out the dough on parchment paper…it was a great idea and it worked out perfectly. I mixed 1¼ cups of blackberries with one sliced peach, spread them on the dough, sprinkled on the sugar and pulled up the crust. The crust was a little soft so, I'm really glad I rolled it out on the parchment. This was a perfect way for lifting the dough to the baking pan and, baking as directed.
This week my grandchildren are visiting, so my house has turned into Camp Grandma, and this is a perfect dessert for us to enjoy with a scoop of ice cream!!

I've been seeing these galettes getting posted quite a bit this week and each and every one of them looks so good. This is fantastic. You're making me drool here!
ReplyDeleteLove these little fruit fille galettes, Kathy! Lora made it too for the Dorie challenge. Would love a nice piece of yours...looks so scrumptious, and delicious!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous does your tart look? I love the bright yellow among the darker berries.
ReplyDeleteI had blackberries from my own yard for one of the galettes we made, too. Lovely having fruit right there (even if the bush itself is attacking our bay tree and must be destroyed!). I bet Camp Grandma is especially great at your house!

Peach and berries are just dreamy this time of year. Yes, I do want a piece of your gorgeous galette! Ours is all gone and looks like I'll have to bake some more this weekend;)
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool you have your own blackberries! Also, I love the parchment paper idea. I could have used that.
