Blueberry Basil Galette
For the Sweet Tart Dough:
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
- Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Melt the coconut oil, then stir it into the flour and salt mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
- Form the Dough:
- Gradually add maple syrup, mixing as you go. If the dough doesn’t hold together, add a small amount of ice water, just enough to bring the dough together.
- Shape the Dough:
- Gently knead the dough into a soft, workable ball, being careful not to overmix. If needed, add a little more flour.
- Shape the dough into a flattened disc.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- Roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, dusting both the bottom sheet and the dough with flour.
- Use quick, gentle strokes, starting from the center and working your way out in a compass-like motion.
- Chill the Dough:
- Carefully transfer the parchment-covered dough onto a baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the dough while you prepare the blueberry filling.
For the Blueberry Basil Filling:
- Prepare the Filling Mixture:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of sugar, arrowroot powder, and sea salt.
- Prepare the Blueberries:
- Rinse and drain the blueberries in a strainer, then transfer them to a towel and blot dry.
- Combine with Flavorings:
- Gently stir the blueberries into the sugar mixture, then add basil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Assembling the Galette:
- Assemble the Galette:
- Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and peel off the top layer of parchment paper.
- Pour the blueberry basil filling onto the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border.
- Fold the Dough:
- Carefully fold the dough border over the blueberry filling, creating a pleated ruffle around the edges.
- Brush and Sprinkle:
- Brush the folded dough border with 2 teaspoons of oil, then pat the berries with the remaining oil.
- Sprinkle the crust with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
- Bake the Galette:
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the galette is golden and the juices bubble up thickly on top.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the galette to cool completely before slicing and serving.
