Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Combine the vegetable oil and water in a saucepan and bring to a *boil*. Once boiling, remove from heat.

Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the liquid mixture. **Mix thoroughly** until the dough forms a cohesive ball. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cornstarch.

Step 3

Assemble the Galette

Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (180Β°C). Roll the dough out into a large circle on a floured surface.

Sprinkle the sugar and cornstarch mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch (3 cm) border around the edges.

Place the berries or fruit in the center of the dough. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, creating a rustic edge. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and sprinkle with a little extra sugar if desired.

Step 4

Bake

Place the galette on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake it in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Step 5

Serve

Let the galette cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade berry galette!
