1️⃣ Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to chill and become more manageable.
2️⃣ Preheat and Line
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring easy removal and cleanup.
3️⃣ Toss the Blueberries
In a separate bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Gently toss the blueberries to coat them evenly in this delectable mixture, ensuring a burst of flavor in every bite.
4️⃣ Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle or oval shape, about ¼ inch thick. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a canvas for our fruity creation.
5️⃣ Fill and Fold
Arrange the blueberry mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary to create the rustic and charming galette appearance.
6️⃣ Brush and Sprinkle
Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg, ensuring a golden and shiny crust after baking. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the dough and the blueberries, adding a touch of sweetness and a lovely caramelized finish.
7️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the blueberries start bubbling enticingly.
8️⃣ Cool and Enjoy
Remove the galette from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. The delightful Blueberry Galette can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making it the perfect summer dessert.
