Description
A homemade dough cradles sweet and tart cherries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12-inch pie dough (homemade)
- 4 cups fresh cherries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the dough:
- 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter, grated
- 1 beaten egg yolk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cleaned and halved cherries, sugar, flour, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, salt. Mix gently. Set aside.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the cherry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge.
- Fold the edge of the dough up and over the filling, overlapping and creating pleats all the way around. Brush the dough with beaten egg yolk.
- Bake the galette at 375 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and done on the bottom. Transfer the galette to a wire rack and cool slightly before slicing.
For the dough:
- Grate cold butter with a cheese grater, add ingredients to a mixing bowl, and combine. Add two tablespoons of ice water for the dough to gather up.
- Ball the dough, cover it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate. The dough can be made a day or two in advance.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch round.
