Blueberry Galette Recipe: A galette is a dessert, like an easier version of a pie. A galette recipe has 2 parts: The crust (buttery! flakey!) and filling is normally fruit-based (thick! tasty!) Optional: topping it with oat streusel (buttery-oaty goodness) and your fave ice cream.
Steps To Make a Blueberry Galette:
First, make the galette crust. My recipe is a combo of all purpose flour and almond flour. Make sure you chill the crust in the fridge for 2 hours. (So…do this step in the morning or the day before)
Second, make the oat streusel recipe. Streusel is a buttery topping for the galette. This recipe will be enough for 2 galettes. So, either half the recipe or save the remaining (in a sealed container in the freezer). Or use your own recipe instead!
Third, make the filling and set aside.
Fourth, roll out the crust, until 1/4 inch thick (I roll on a rolling mat).
Fifth, Fill it with the blueberry filling.
Sixth, fold the edges in, about 1 inch. Rotate. The edges should slightly overlap.
Seventh, transfer the galette to a lined-cookie try. Be careful! (I used an offset spatula to help me)
Eighth, top with 2 tbsp unsalted, chilled and cubed butter
Nineth, Brush edges with egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water, or milk).
Tenth, If you have it, top edges with demerara sugar. Top with streusel. Bake. Enjoy.
Lastly, let cool and enjoy!

QUESTIONS ON MAKING A GALETTE
How does a galette differ than a pie?
Galettes are French. They are more rustic in shape. The shape is free form. No fancy pie dish is needed. Perfect for beginner bakers or someone who has never baked a pie before.
Why blueberries?
Blueberries are high in pectin, which is a fiber found in fruits. So….it acts like a natural thickener. Plus I love ’em.
Can I skip the oat streusel topping?
Yup of course!
What do I serve with a bluberry galette?
Vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream are the two best choices.
