Pecan Galette

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Pulse a few times.

Step 2

To this, slowly start adding the bits of cold butter pulsing in between a few at a time until mixture resembles cornmeal. Watch my youtube video above to see how to make the pie dough for a visual.

Step 3

Then, slowly add in the cold water but 1 tbsp at a time while pulsing as well. At this point, the dough may look like crumbs but once you get your hands in there; it will come together very easily. Shape into a thick disc and wrap in plastic wrap very well then place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.

Step 4

After chilling, roll out the dough into a 12 inch circle. Do not make this thick nor paper thin either but make sure to be even in spreading it out.

Step 5

In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients under pecan topping very well.

Step 6

Add the pecan topping to the center of the dough filling until you leave 3 inches on all the edges without any liquid or pecans. You want the outskirts to be dry so make sure to spoon the topping on very carefully.

Step 7

Fold in the edges to the top of filling creating a nice border/barrier so the filling does not come out. This will act as a seal. See my caramel apple galette photos for referance if you woould like.

Step 8

Brush that border with egg wash and sprinkle with some sugar.

Step 9

Bake at 375 F for 30-35 minutes. Don't worry if it oozes out a bit. It will taste delicious and have a rustic look! Enjoy warm or room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh whipped cream and even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate.
