I love this easy crust hugging peaches and raspberries. I made the dough by hand and added some homemade yogurt (a new experiment in my kitchen) and what seems to be a secret ingredient: yellow cornmeal. The result is an easy to handle dough that’s slightly tart and crispy. The recipe makes enough dough for two small galettes and knowing my family’s appetite for dessert I went ahead and made both at once.
No regrets on that. These galettes were delicious.
You can find the recipe here at the hosts: Tomato Thymes in the Kitchen and Garden and The Kitchen Lioness.
After forming the dough into two disks I refrigerated them for about three hours. I decided to go with peaches and raspberries for my filling but you could use any fruit and berries here.
I rolled the chilled dough out into 11-inch circles. It was a little sticky but with some flour under the dough and on my rolling pin I had no troubles. I placed my sliced peaches and raspberries over the dough and left a couple inch border around. Then I sprinkled the filling with both granulated sugar and honey.
The edges of the dough were folded over the filling and the crust brushed lightly with water before more sugar was sprinkled on.
I baked the galettes for about 40 minutes at 400 degrees F. There was a small amount of juice leaking but I think that is part of the charm of these rustic little pies.
I am hanging on to this recipe! My whole family enjoyed them. The peaches were soft and sweet and the raspberries provided a bright tart contrast. I am already thinking about blueberries for the filling. Apple galettes would be perfect for fall. Or maybe pears. Or one of each. I don’t think my family will complain if galettes keep showing up after dinner.

Looks lovely. And the use of cornmeal sounds intriguing, I’m going to try that the next time I make a tart crust.

The cornmeal was an interesting addition. I thought it worked well here.

Dear “Baker on the Rise”,
Your galettes (August 7th and 14th) look beautiful! I must say I am tempted to try your Fudgy Black Bean Brownies – they look delicious (and as for you, healthy is a major consideration for me too). Will let you know when I do… and gluten-free too! Thanks!

Hi ! Thanks for stopping by my site, parsleyandpumpkins, and liking my post, “spaciousness or slurry.” You have a beautiful blog. I’ve been looking for a recipe for black bean brownies. I may just try yours! I hope you stop by my site again. I am signing up via email to receive your postings. Baking is an enjoyable time for me. I’ve learned to embrace the time I put into cooking and baking.
I read that you are a Midwesterner. My husband and I both grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan before moving to the Detroit area where we lived for about seven years.
Thanks for your recipes – Kelly Turnbull

Hey Dorie! I’ve been away from the blogosphere for nearly a whole month now due to lack of internet and have been spending the evening catching up on the million food blogs that I’ve missed! I must say this post has been one of my favourites so far! I made an apple and cinnamon galette for easter this year and it was so good! I will definitely be making this one soon! I hope you’re well 🙂
P.S I love your new title graphic, it’s beautiful!
