Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (213 gr.) of all-purpose flour, more to flour the surfaces
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 tablespoons (142.5 gr.) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 4–5 tablespoons ice-cold water
- 1 large egg yolk
Instructions
- To make the galette dough: Place flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse for a few times to mix. Add in the cold butter cubes. Pulse 8-10 times until butter resembles small clumps.
- Turn the machine on and add in 4 tablespoons of ice-cold water in one tablespoon increments.
- At this point, it should start to come together and form into a ball. If not add in the rest of the water until it does.
- Transfer onto a lightly floured surface, form it into a 4-inch disk, and wrap with plastic. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Take it out of the fridge 10 minutes before you are ready to roll it out.
- Lightly flour your working surface. Roll the dough into a large 12-inch circle. Transfer onto the parchment paper and then onto the baking sheet.
- Place your filling (depending on the recipe you are using) on top slightly mounting in the middle, leaving a 3-inch border around the edges.
- Roll the sides of the dough overlapping as you go around and pleating the dough.
- Brush the edges of the dough (the outer crust) with egg yolk.
- Bake according to the instructions of the recipe you are using.
