Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cool and cut into pieces
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons liquid honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar or fresh lemon juice
Binding and Wash Ingredients:
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 large egg for egg wash
- 1/8 cup cool water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the foundational flour mixture by combining dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring thorough incorporation of flour, sugar, and salt.
- Integrate vegetable oil into the flour, gently moistening the mixture. Introduce cool butter fragments, methodically breaking them down using a pastry cutter or fingertips until the texture resembles rough, uneven crumbs.
- Create a liquid binding agent by merging cool water with vinegar or lemon juice. Gradually introduce this liquid to the flour blend, stirring until the dough begins to cohesively form. Exercise caution with liquid quantity, as complete absorption may not be necessary.
- Consolidate the dough into a compact sphere, encase it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for a minimum of 60 minutes to enhance structural integrity.
- Activate the oven to 400°F, positioning a parchment-lined baking sheet for optimal preparation.
- Craft a creamy yogurt base by whisking Greek yogurt with honey, delicate lemon zest, and a rich egg yolk until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- On a lightly dusted surface, skillfully roll the chilled dough into a generous 12-inch circular shape. Carefully transfer the delicate pastry onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Artfully distribute the yogurt mixture across the dough’s surface, maintaining a strategic 2-inch perimeter. Generously cascade blueberries atop the yogurt layer.
- Elegantly fold the dough’s outer edges inward, creating rustic pleats that embrace the fruity filling, embodying the galette’s signature free-form aesthetic.
- Prepare an egg wash by vigorously whisking egg with water, then delicately brush the dough’s exposed edges to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes, monitoring until the crust transforms into a rich golden hue and blueberries burst with vibrant, bubbling intensity.
- Complete the culinary masterpiece by drizzling additional honey over the warm galette, enhancing its natural sweetness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Vinegar or lemon juice helps create a flakier, more tender crust by preventing gluten formation and adding subtle tangy flavor.
- Use cold butter and water to ensure a crisp, layered pastry texture that doesn’t become tough or dense.
- Greek yogurt filling provides protein boost and creamy richness while keeping the galette lighter than traditional cream-based versions.
- Choose fresh, firm blueberries at peak ripeness for maximum sweetness and minimal excess liquid during baking.
