Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Dough: Start by combining flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Toss in cold butter cubes and mix until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until it forms a ball. Chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s nice and hot when your galette is ready to bake.
Prepare the Filling: In another bowl, combine your fresh mixed berries with granulated sugar and cornstarch; gently toss them until well-coated.
Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out your chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches wide. Don’t worry about perfection; rustic is part of its charm!
Add the Filling & Fold: Place your berry mixture in the center of the dough circle. Fold the edges over towards the center but leave some of that luscious filling exposed.
Bake to Perfection: Brush your folded edges with egg wash for that golden shine. Bake for 35-40 minutes until bubbly and browned—your kitchen will smell heavenly!
This Mixed Berry Galette is sure to become your new favorite dessert recipe! Enjoy every bite as you savor those delightful flavors and share laughs with loved ones around the table.
