Delicious Fruit Galettes Recipe for Any Occasion

In a mixing bowl, beat together 200 grams (1 cup) of unsalted butter and 1 egg until creamy. Add a pinch of salt and thoroughly mix in 400 grams (3.5 cups) of all-purpose flour.

Gradually pour in 4 tablespoons of cold water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Once combined, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

While the dough is chilling, wash and slice 3 peaches (or nectarines) into thin wedges. In a small bowl, combine the peach slices with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Set aside.

Next, peel and dice 2 pears. If desired, sprinkle with additional sugar to taste. Prepare 100 grams (1 cup) of currants by rinsing them under cold water, then toss them with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into circles about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully transfer each circle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Layer the fruit filling in the center of each dough circle, leaving about an inch around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to secure it slightly and creating a rustic edge.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Check the galettes towards the end of baking to ensure they do not overbrown.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Feel free to enjoy them warm with a dollop of cream cheese on top!

If you want to prepare these galettes in advance, freeze them on a baking sheet for 3 hours until solid. After that, vacuum seal and store them for cold autumn evenings!
