Blackberry Galette

 

Ingredients

• FOR THE CRUST
• 2 1/2 cups sprouted wheat flour
• 1 cup frozen unsalted grass fed organic butter, cut into 1/2" cubes
• 1 tablespoon of demerara sugar
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt
• 6 tablespoons ice water
• FOR THE FILLING
• 2 full cups of ripe blackberries
• 1/4 cup demerara sugar (more for sprinkling on the crust)
• zest from 1/2 of a small lemon, juice of 1/2 of small lemon
• 1 egg
• 2-3 tablespoons of sprouted wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons organic grass fed butter, cut into tiny pieces
• sprig of mint to garnish

Instructions

• In a food processor combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until butter is in pea sized pieces.
• Add ice water and pulse checking to see if dough forms a loose ball when squeezed together. Don't worry about it forming a solid ball, it can be crumbly, that will make for a very tasty crust! Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, if you are not able to form the mixture into a ball.
• Separate the dough into two balls, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• To make the filling combine berries, sugar, lemon juice and zest with flour. Mix and add additional tablespoon of flour if the mixture is very wet.
• To make the galette, preheat the oven to 350°
• Take one of the balls of dough out of the refrigerator and roll out until the dough is roughly 1/8" thick. Lift dough and place onto parchment paper on a baking sheet. (Save the other ball of dough for the galette you're going to want to make the second you finish this one, or be proactive and double the filling recipe to make two immediately!)
• Place filling on center of dough, spread butter over top and fold edges up around all of it. The beauty of galettes is they're not meant to look perfect, so don't fuss too much with the crust.
• Whisk one egg and brush onto the crust, sprinkle with sugar and place into the oven to bake.
• Bake for 20-35 minutes, watching closely, until crust is browned and fruit is softened and leaking onto the parchment paper.
• Remove from oven, let sit for 5-10 minutes, serve and enjoy!
