This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is an unassuming looking dessert. It’s basically ingredients for a fruit galette rolled up to make a kind of Danish fruity roll – sort of like these Sara Lee treats from my childhood. The recipe is pretty easy – Dorie’s “go-to” galette dough filled with pears, cranberries and some preserves.
The dough comes together really easily and the filling is simple to prepare as well. Mine looked a little rustic but that’s ok because as soon as you slice into it, you forget any imperfections…
Um, yeah. This was good. Really good. So good that I cut myself and Neil a slice each then packed it off to my staff room. Where it was devoured and pronounced “phenomenal”. This is a gorgeous dessert, morning or afternoon tea or hey, even breakfast. Let’s face it. Anytime of the day is a perfect time to enjoy a buttery pastry with some fruit, right?

Okay, NOW I know what the heck happened to this after the first “teaser” slice! 😉
Sometimes simple can be great: and in this case, it was.
Lucky staff room.
IF there was more, I’d pair with a gorgeous off-dry French Rosé des Riceys.
This was really good, Jim and I could not stop raving about it, and great left over with a little heat from the microwave. Yours looks so perfect.
Your tart looks perfect!
This was very good even though mine did not look so great. I took the rest of it to work and my guys at home just would not stop complaining about it.
Your photos look so sunny and bright.
Great photos! Your tart looks perfect! I agree that you can enjoy a nice buttery pastry at any time of day; I had a piece of tart as a midnight snack…
Oh yeah… looks and sounds great. Send me some, Mardi.
Gorgeous Mardi! I think it can pass as breakfast, right? There is fruit after all…
This reminded me of store-bought strudel as well but soooo much better!
Yes, it was delightful. Definitely a keeper. Rustic is perfect!
Perfection! No wonder this was a hit.
Beautiful! Perfectly baked!
I believe any time of day is a good time for a Dorie treat. This was good and devoured by my guests in one sitting.
I agree Mardi – this was delish. I hadn’t thought of the Sara Lee thing, but they do look like this.
Oh so yummy — and I don’t think it looks rustic at all, just perfect!
