-- print recipe --Galette Dough
Ingredients
1. Mix the flour, salt, and sugar together in a bowl. Cut in the butter by hand or using a mixer with a paddle attachment, leaving some pea-sized chunks.
2. Sprink the ice water over the top by the tablespoon and toss with the flour mixture until you can bring the dough together into a ball. Press into a disk and refrigerate if the butter feels soft at all.
3. To form a galette, roll it out on a lightly floured counter into a 14-inch irregular circle about 1/8 inch thick. Fold it into quarters and transfer it to the back of a sheet pan or a cookie sheet without sides, then unfold it - it should be larger than the pan (as you'll be folding it in on itself once it's filled).
4. Add the filling (fruit or vegetables) according to the recipe, leaving a border 2-4 inches wide. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, overlapping them as you go. Depending on how much of the edge you have left, the galette will be partially or completely covered, almost like a two-crust pie.
5. Brush the top with melted butter (it will take about a tablespoon) or an egg beaten with milk or a little cream. If you're making a dessert galette, sprinkle the top with sugar (about 2 tablespoons).
6. Bake according to the recipe instructions.
