Ingredients
Flour
1 1/4 cups (for pastry and additional for dusting surface)
Butter
1/2 cup (cold and cubed)
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Water
5-6 tablespoons (ice-cold)
Nectarines
2 (peeled and sliced)
Raspberries
1/2 cup (fresh)
Blackberries
1/2 cup (fresh)
Flour
2 tablespoons (for thickening fruit filling)
Sugar
1/4 cup (for filling)
Lemon Juice
1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed)
Sugar
1 tablespoon (for sprinkling on crust)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, similar to pea-sized crumbles.
3
Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between until the dough comes together in a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the fruit filling by gently mixing the sliced nectarines, raspberries, blackberries, flour, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled pastry dough into a 16-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick.
6
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a large baking sheet or a pizza stone sprinkled with a pinch of flour.
7
Spread the fruit filling evenly in the center of the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around the edges.
8
Carefully fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, creating a rustic border. It doesn’t need to be perfect, so embrace the rustic look.
9
Sprinkle the folded edges of the pastry with a little sugar for a sweet touch.
10
Place the galette in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
11
Once baked, allow the galette to cool for 20-30 minutes. Slice into eighths and serve warm or at room temperature.
