I discovered this type of fruit pie not long ago and it immediately became one of my favorites. The galettes are especially popular with my family in the summer, when the variety of berries and fruits is very pleasing. Galettes are tender, crispy shortbread dough and lots of juicy fruit filling. Today I offer you galettes with a very interesting filling of cherries and dark chocolate.
Ingredients:
300 grams of flour
½ tsp. salt
300g cold butter
3 tbsp sugar
50 ml ice water
1 kg cherries
100g dark chocolate
sugar topping to taste
egg yolk + milk to grease doughI should point out right away that you add the amount of sugar in this recipe to your liking. I like the dough to be more neutral in flavor and the filling to be moderately sweet.
The number of ingredients is for 4 large galettes.
In a large bowl sift flour and salt, add sugar. Chop the butter with a knife into small cubes or grate it with a coarse grater. Add it to the flour mixture and quickly rub it with your fingers to make a fat crumb. Add ice water. This should be done in portions, watching the consistency of the dough. Knead the dough quickly, roll it into a ball and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Remove pips from the cherries. Chop the chocolate into medium sized pieces.
Take out the dough and divide it into 4 equal parts. Cover the table with flour, take one part of the dough and roll it out into an uneven circle 0.3-0.5 cm thick. Transfer it to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place the cherries and chocolate in the middle, leaving 2 to 2.5 cm to fold in the dough. Sprinkle with sugar to taste (I had about 2 tablespoons of sugar per galette). Fold in the edges of the dough nicely, making folds. Brush the top of the dough with a mixture of egg yolk and milk, sprinkle a little sugar. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Bake in heated oven for 20-30 minutes until the dough browns. Let cool a little and serve. These dumplings are as good warm as they are completely cooled.
Enjoy your appetite!
