The chef advises that in preparing galettes, we pay special attention to the moisture and thickness of the dough. The galette dough should not be very thin, but it should also not be too thick because then it will not be crispy. The perfect dough thickness is about three millimeters. In addition to the thickness of the dough, it is necessary to pay attention to the filling.
It is important to pay attention to the humidity of the filling so that the galette does not fall apart from too much moisture. Apples, blueberries and other fruits rich in pectin are the best choices for filling galette, but you can also prepare it from juicier fruits such as strawberries or apricots. In this case, after you put the fruit on the pie, sprinkle with a small amount of semolina or corn grits, and you can add a little density. Also, make sure that the amount of filling for the galette is not too large because then the juices will leak over the crust and they will not be crunchy. Since strawberry season is in full swing, we bring you a recipe for a delicious strawberry galette. You can prepare four smaller galettes or two larger ones. Enjoy!
