Variations
Going gluten-free? Replace the flour with a gluten-free blend. Just make sure it’s a 1:1 substitution. 🙌
Vegan version is a breeze too! Use a plant-based butter alternative and skip the egg wash. Opt for a flax egg, which is simply a mix of 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons water. Let it sit for a few minutes and voila! 🥳
Faq
- How do I know when the galettes are done?
Bake until they’re golden brown, usually about 30-40 minutes. Check the edges for a nice crunchy texture.
- Can I use different fruits for the filling?
Absolutely! Blueberries, peaches, or even apples work wonderfully in this recipe. Just adjust the sugar as needed.
- Why is my dough not coming together?
Ensure your water is ice cold and add it gradually. Too much water at once can make the dough sticky and hard to manage.
- How do I store leftover galettes?
Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 days.
- Can I freeze the dough?
Yes, you can freeze the dough. Just make sure it’s tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge before using.
- How do I prevent the galettes from becoming soggy?
Make sure to preheat your oven properly and avoid overfilling the galettes to keep them crisp.
