CHERRY GALETTE



Cherry Galette image

I discovered the ease of Recipe #94405 recently, and my non-baking self fell in love. When I was overloaded with sweet cherries, I had to find a galette recipe to use them. This is an adaptation of a recipe found at an online wine site. That recipe used a homemade crust, but I think that the part of the appeal of the galette for me, aside from satisfying my sweet tooth, is the ease of using the refrigerated ones.

Tips:

  • Utilize fresh, ripe cherries: The quality of your cherries will significantly impact the flavor of your galette, so choose the best ones you can find.
  • Pit the cherries: Before using the cherries, take the time to remove the pits. This can be done using a cherry pitter or a knife.
  • Sweeten the cherries: Adding sugar to the cherries helps enhance their natural sweetness and flavor. You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference.
  • Use a combination of flours: This recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour and almond flour. The almond flour adds a delicious nutty flavor and helps create a more tender crust.
  • Work the dough quickly: When making the dough, work it as little as possible to prevent it from becoming tough. Overworking the dough can result in a dry and crumbly crust.
  • Chill the dough: Before rolling out the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough become more manageable and easier to work with.
  • Brush the crust with egg wash: Before baking, brush the crust with egg wash. This gives the galette a beautiful golden brown color and helps the crust stay crispy.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the galette until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it to prevent overbaking.

Conclusion:

The sweet cherry galette is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet cherry filling, and almond flavor, this galette is sure to impress your friends and family. The combination of fresh cherries, sugar, and almond flour creates a delicious and unique flavor that sets this galette apart from other fruit galettes.
