Instructions
- Preferably, make the pie crust ahead of time. It is very simple to make. It will keep in the fridge for up to two days or in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw it overnight before rolling it out.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add pieces of butter. Using your fingers, flatten the cubes into shards and toss them in the flour until fully coated. Stop when butter pieces are still visible and pea-sized.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and continue mixing with your hands until the dough comes together. There shouldn't be any visible cracks in the dough (indicating not enough water), and conversely, the dough should not feel wet. Add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of ice water if needed. Form the dough into a disk (1 inch (2.54 cm) thick). Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Assembling the Galette
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (ca. 191 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, toss together sliced peaches, blueberries, vanilla extract, sugar, and cornstarch.
- Roll out the chilled pie dough into a rough circle, about ⅛-inch thick (13 inches (ca. 33 cm) in diameter), on a lightly floured surface. Transfer the dough to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread your filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-3 inch border. Fold the border over the filling, pleating the dough as you go. Brush the crust with an egg wash (egg beaten with water), and sprinkle with sugar (1 tablespoon). Dot the butter pieces over the filling.
- Bake until the filling bubbles and the crust is brown, about 45 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
If using frozen fruit, make sure to thaw and drain it before using. Also, frozen fruit might require adjusting the amount of cornstarch or sugar, depending on the sweetness and moisture of the thawed fruit. Store bought pie crust can be used instead of making one's own.
