TWD Berry Galette


I was actually "this close" to skipping this week's Tuesdays With Dorie recipe, Berry Galette, which would have been a first for me.   Considering that we tackled Blueberry Nectarine Pie just last week it felt a bit redundant.  Luckily the galette was super easy to put together so I had to put my laziness aside.  

If you attempt this recipe a word of caution that I'm sure you probably already noticed - the berries tend to leak quite a bit during baking.   I used a triple berry combination of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.  In hindsight I probably should have omitted the strawberries, per the recipes notes, but I had some in my fridge and threw them in.  

Luckily the pastry didn't get soggy from all the juice and actually browned quite nicely.  Next time I'll add a little more sugar to the dough and also the fruit.  Other than that I thought it was a very tasty tart which would undoubtedly be even better with some ice cream!

Lisa of Tomato Thymes in the Kitchen and Andrea of The Kitchen Lioness have posted the recipe on their blog.

  1. I loved how sturdy (yet not too chewy) the crust was for this recipe. I have to say that the juiciness all around the slices makes it look even more delicious.

  2. Berries do produce a lot of juice, especially when you use only strawberries like I did. Great pic! Love the colors

  4. Beautiful post. The "juiciness" actually adds to the image and makes it look rather inviting and delicious.

  6. G O R G E O U S photo!!! I almost skipped this for the same reason. Glad I didn't - good way for me to use the rest of the dough from the blueberry pie.

  7. It would have been a pity if you hadn't made it: it looks wonderful and delicious!
    To avoid the "over-juicing" I've spread almonds and sugar under the berries and it worked.
