Cooking Time: 1h 20min

Serving: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS:

  • For the Galette Dough:

    • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
    • ¼ cup ice water

    For the Filling:

    • 3 cups sweet cherries, pitted
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar (adjust according to the sweetness of cherries)
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt for the galette dough. Add the cold, cubed butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently toss the pitted cherries with sugar and cornstarch until well coated. Set aside and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled galette dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.
  6. Transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Arrange the sweet cherries in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges.
  8. Fold the edges of the dough over the cherries, pleating as needed to create a rustic, free-form shape.
  9. Brush the edges of the dough with milk or cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar for a golden crust.
  10. Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling and tender.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
