Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for dough)
  • 34 tablespoons ice water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 medium ripe nectarines, sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries, washed and drained
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon warm water

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. Add ½ cup cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  3. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons ice water over the mixture, stirring gently with a fork. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed, until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.
  4. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. While the dough chills, toss sliced nectarines and blueberries in a bowl.
  6. Add ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon if using. Mix gently to coat fruit evenly.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle about ⅛ inch thick.
  8. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Spoon the fruit mixture into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border all around.
  10. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as needed to create a rustic border.
  11. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the galette on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbling. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  12. While the galette is still warm, mix 2 tablespoons honey with 1 tablespoon warm water. Brush the glaze over the crust and fruit.
  13. Let the galette rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

If dough is too sticky, chill longer before rolling. Tent crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Use parchment paper and a silicone baking mat to prevent sliding. Frozen fruit can be used if fresh is unavailable. For vegan option, substitute dairy butter with plant-based butter and honey with maple syrup. Adding flaky sea salt on top after glazing enhances flavor.
