Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparation Steps

1. First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This gets the oven ready for baking.

2. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps with easy cleanup.

3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches and mixed berries.

4. Add the lemon juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the fruit.

5. Toss gently to coat the fruit. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to marinate. This helps the flavors blend together.

Rolling Out the Dough

1. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust. Aim for a rough 12-inch circle.

2. Carefully transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet. Make sure it stays flat.

Filling and Assembling the Galette

1. Spoon the marinated fruit mixture into the center of the rolled-out dough.

2. Leave about a 2-inch border around the edges. This space will hold the crust.

3. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the fruit filling. Create pleats as you fold, but leave the center open. This makes the fruit the star of the dish.

Baking Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.

2. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash.

3. Sprinkle sugar over the crust for added sweetness and a nice crunch.

4. Bake your galette in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes. Look for a golden brown crust and bubbly fruit filling.

5. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy your Peach and Berry Galette!

Tips & Tricks

Perfecting Your Galette

To get that even golden crust, follow these tips:

– Chill your dough: Keep your pie crust cold. This helps it bake evenly.

– Egg wash: Brush the crust with an egg wash. This gives it a nice shine.

– Sprinkle sugar: Dust sugar on the crust. It adds a sweet touch and crunch.

To avoid a soggy bottom, try these methods:

– Use a cold filling: Let your fruit mix chill before adding it to the crust.

– Cornstarch is key: It helps absorb excess juice. This keeps the crust crisp.

Serving Suggestions

This galette pairs well with several tasty options:

– Ice cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream adds creaminess.

– Whipped cream: A dollop gives a light, fluffy touch.

– Honey drizzle: A drizzle of honey adds sweetness and shine.

Variations of Peach and Berry Galette

Seasonal Fruit Swaps

You can change the fruit in your galette to match the season. In summer, peaches and berries shine. In fall, try apples and pears. Winter brings citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits. Spring is great for strawberries and rhubarb. Each fruit brings its own flavor and color. This helps keep the galette fresh and fun. Plus, it gives you a chance to try new tastes!

Flavor Additions

Adding spices can elevate your galette. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg adds warmth. You can sprinkle some fresh mint for a bright touch. If you like it sweeter, add more brown sugar or honey.

Storage Info

Leftover Storage

To store leftover peach and berry galette, first, let it cool completely. Place it in an airtight container. You can also cover it tightly with plastic wrap. This helps keep the crust crisp and the filling fresh. Store it in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it. Wrap the galette in plastic wrap and foil to prevent freezer burn. It can last up to two months in the freezer.

Reheating Tips

When it’s time to enjoy your galette again, reheating is key. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the galette on a baking sheet. This helps the crust get crispy again. Heat it for about 15-20 minutes. Check it often to avoid overcooking. You can also reheat individual slices in a toaster oven. Just heat for about 5-7 minutes. This keeps the crust nice and flaky. Enjoy your delightful treat just like fresh!
