Equipment

Rolling Pin 🥖

A smooth, easy-to-handle rolling pin is crucial for rolling out the dough. If you don't have one, a clean wine bottle can work in a pinch!

We recommend:
Baking Sheet 🍪

Preferably non-stick or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up a breeze.

Variations

Gluten-Free & Vegan Versions 🌱

Going Gluten-Free? 💫: Substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend that includes xanthan gum for structure. Most gluten-free flour mixes work beautifully in this recipe without compromising on taste or texture.

Vegan Delight ❤️: Replace the butter with a plant-based alternative—vegan margarine works great! Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water) instead of the egg yolk. For the filling, choose a vegan cream cheese and proceed as usual.

By making these simple swaps, you can enjoy this delicious galette while meeting your dietary needs!

Faq

  • How do I know if my dough is the right consistency?

    Your dough should be soft, pliable, and not sticky. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it's too dry, add a tiny amount of water at a time until the right consistency is achieved.

  • Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen?

    Absolutely! Fresh berries work just as well. Just be sure to adjust the baking time slightly if using larger berries.

  • What can I do if the dough cracks while rolling?

    Don't worry! Simply patch it up by pressing the dough together with your fingers. This won't affect the taste or overall result.

  • Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can make the dough up to two days in advance and keep it refrigerate it. Just make sure it's well-wrapped in plastic to prevent drying out.

  • How can I avoid a soggy bottom on my galette?

    Preheating your baking sheet can help. Also, don't overload with berries, as excess liquid can make the dough soggy.

  • What's the best way to store leftovers?

    Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a crispy finish.
