This week’s recipe for Tuesdays with Dorie was perfect for me. A galette is something I always love to make (just last week I wrote about mini blueberry galettes!) but when I am in France, getting carried away with all the lovely market produce it’s even more enjoyable. Note that I would be doing the same if I was at home too, but there at least I have one more person in my house and more people to help me taste my baking!
Last week I visited the nearby Lavardac market (check out my little video tour!) where I found local blueberries, raspberries and black raspberries and I knew immediately that I would use these in this week’s recipe from Baking Chez Moi along with a peach that was on its last legs (this is the beauty of galettes – you can use fruit that is less that perfect because it’s going to bake anyway!)
This came together pretty quickly – Dorie’s galette dough is easy to make (though using different butter and flour produced a wetter dough than I am used to) and the filling is a wonderful combination of berries and other fruit (I used white nectarines) with mint and lime. SO refreshing.
I made 1/2 the amount of dough which resulted in a galette that must have been around 6″ in diameter which was perfect for three slices – one for me and my new neighbour Maurine as a pre-emptive snack before we headed out to watch one of the Euro 2016 games, then one leftover for me for breakfast the next morning.

Your galette looks scrumptious. I think any in season fruits would work well in this.
Definitely! Love how versatile it is!
I love reading about your adventures in France. Sounds delicious and I can’t wait to make this one next.
It’s so good 🙂
Mini galette works well for one to two people. I remember having a small galette in a restaurant and enjoyed have one galette all by myself.
I am all about minifying things!
That sounds like an amazing combination of fruits, especially the black raspberries which aren’t so easy to come by here.
Yes it was a good combination of sweet and tart fruits!
What a great combination! And yours looks so perfectly French!
Well I’m not sure what a “French” galette is compared to another but thank you!
Your galette looks very yummy. This galette is so versatile that it should not be a problem to find fresh fruit.
Right? I love how you could pretty much use any fruit!
Looks good! I love the versatility 🙂
So very versatile!
