How To Make A Fresh Cherry Galette Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and salt together in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with some pea-size lumps. Drizzle in the vinegar and 4 tablespoons of the water; pulse until a dough starts to come together. If the mixture is too dry, add more water, a teaspoon at a time.
• Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, form into a disk and wrap well. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• For the filling: Beat the cream cheese, egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and the vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
• In another bowl, toss the cherries with the cornstarch and the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
• Finish the galette: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll the dough out to a 12-inch round. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Spoon the cherries over the cream cheese, leaving any excess juice in the bowl. Fold the edges of the dough over so they just barely cover some of the filling.
• Beat the egg white with a splash of water and brush it over the crust. Sprinkle the Demerara sugar evenly over the filling and crust.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to roughly an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Mix the pitted cherries with 1/4 cup sugar, salt, and liqueur.
• Spoon the seasoned cherries over the dough and leave a 2-inch border. Drop pieces of butter over the cherries and fold the edges of the dough over, pressing lightly.
• Whisk the cream or milk and the egg yolk together and lightly brush the edges of the crust.
• Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and then bake for 40-45 minutes. Ovens will vary, bake until golden.
• Top each serving with a dollop of mascarpone and a sprinkle of black pepper.

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or in a large bowl, pulse or mix together flour, sugar and salt. In a measuring cup, lightly beat the egg, then add just enough cream to get to 1/3 cup. Lightly whisk the egg and cream together.
• Add butter to flour mixture and pulse or use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break up the butter. If using a food processor, do not over-process; you need chickpea-size chunks of butter. Drizzle the egg mixture (up to 1/4 cup) over the dough and pulse or stir until it just starts to come together but is still mostly large crumbs. Mix in lemon juice and zest if using.
• Put dough on lightly floured counter and pat it together to make one uniform piece. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and chill for 2 hours, or up to 3 days.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll the dough out to a 12-inch round (it can be ragged). Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill while preparing the filling.
• Toss together fruit, all but a tablespoon of sugar, the salt, the lemon juice and zest, and the cornstarch. Use more cornstarch for juicy stone fruit and less for blueberries, raspberries and figs. Pile fruit on the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Gently fold the pastry over the fruit, pleating to hold it in (sloppy is fine). Brush pastry generously with leftover egg and cream mixture. Sprinkle remaining sugar on the crust.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the filling bubbles up vigorously and the crust is golden. Cool for at least 20 minutes on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• On a piece of lightly floured parchment, roll out dough to a 16-inch-long oval (1/4 inch thick). Transfer dough and parchment to a baking sheet. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
• Process 1/4 cup sugar, the almonds, nutmeg, and salt in a food processor to combine. Gently toss with cherries.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spoon cherries over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Dot with butter. Fold in edges, pressing gently. Refrigerate until cold, 30 minutes.
• Whisk yolk with cream; brush over edges of tart. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste). Bake until golden, 45 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• On a piece of lightly floured parchment, roll out dough.
• Transfer dough and parchment to a baking sheet.
• Process 1/4 sugar, almonds, nutmeg, and salt in food processor until almonds are ground.
• Gently toss with the cherries.
• Spoon cherries over dough, leaving a 2" border.
• Dot with butter.
• Fold in edges, pressing gently.
• Whisk yolk and cream together; brush over edges of tart.
• Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Bake until golden, 40-45 minutes. (Original recipe stated 45-50 minutes, but I found that my oven was done sooner.).
