Is A Galette A Pie

In the world of pastry desserts, galette recipes fall somewhere between tarts and pies. They are all cousins, for lack of a better term. Both pies and tarts are baked in a pan. In contrast, galettes are shaped free-form, then baked on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. All three desserts feature a flaky crust. The difference is, galettes and tarts have a single bottom crust, whereas pies can be either single or double-crust. Technically, a blueberry galette is really a single crust, open-faced blueberry pie. The bottom crust is made large enough that it comes up and slightly over the fruit filling. A galette is very rustic in appearance. As a result, it’s the perfect dessert recipe for those who enjoy baking but don’t like to fuss with crust.

How To Make A Blueberry Galette

There are just 4 steps involved in making an easy blueberry galette: Step 1: Creating The Pastry Dough If you don’t want to make homemade pastry, you can also just purchase refrigerated pie crusts. However, those store-bought pastry sheets are never as flaky and delicious as homemade pie dough, and I have the best tart pastry dough recipe for you. It’s so good! Step 2: Making The Blueberry Mixture Again, homemade blueberry filling made with fresh blueberries is the most delicious option. But if you’re in a rush, opening a can of blueberry pie filling will get the job done. For the blueberry galette filling, you’ll need:

Step 4: Bake The Galette One of the nicest things about making a blueberry galette is the short baking time. All you need is 25 minutes. The juices begin to thicken, the crust will become golden brown, and your kitchen will smell amazing!
