Today I’m sharing my recipe for a mixed berry galette. It’s rustic, beautiful, delicious and so simple to make! Plus I’m introducing you to the newest and coolest line of kitchen utensils from Thyme & Table.
Hello Spring ♥
I’m in gear to get all things springtime going, but I think we’re officially in our 3rd winter here in Pennsylvania. *Sigh*…it’s snowing again. Fingers crossed for warm sunny days & soon!
I usually bake nonstop during the winter months – this year I took a bit of a break from it. I was definitely feeling soups, stews and hearty comfort foods during these colder months.
We had a few warm days and all of a sudden I’m craving fruits, berries and baked goods. I’m ready to bake!
Plus I’ve been staring at all these bright, fun & too cool utensils from Thyme & Table. I want to chop, whisk, mix, scrape – I want to get busy in the kitchen with all these pretty utensils!
Thyme & Table is a new line of fun, colorful & affordable kitchen utensils available at Walmart. All the pieces are so funky, fun yet functional! I love the pop of color these utensils have added to my kitchen and know everyone else will as well. I’m thinking Mother’s Day, gift baskets, housewarming presents – I’ve got gift ideas covered for awhile!!!
I’ll admit, some of my kitchen utensils are a bit beat up and overdue to be replaced. My daughter tells me all my kitchen stuff is so “old fashioned” – so this fun & fresh change was needed!
Back to baking! Craving fruit, I found a decent selection of berries at a local grocery store and grabbed one of everything they had. I happily left with strawberries, blueberries & blackberries.
I knew I wanted to bake a galette. I love, love, LOVE galettes! They’re beautiful, rustic and so perfectly simple.
I made my own pastry dough here. It’s simple, so when you have the time – definitely go for it. When you don’t have the time, grab some of that premade pastry dough. It will turn out delicious either way.
I try to keep the sugar to a minimum when working with fresh fruits & berries. Unfortunately, none of these berries were particularly ripe, sweet or juicy – so I added a bit more sugar than I might normally.
Please know that galettes are so forgiving – so eager to please! They really beg to be every bakers best friend! I sloppily rolled out the dough – egdes all messy & uneven. Guess what – it adds more character. I had a bit of berry lava oozing out one corner while baking. Easy fix – I just spooned that sweet lava over the galette while it was cooling.
Warm sunny days and springtime baking – I’m ready for you ♥
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mixed Berry Galette
Ingredients
- For Pastry:
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 9 tablespoons cold salted butter cubed (1 stick + 1 tablespoon)
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup ice water
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
- For Filling:
- 4 cups mixed berries chopped if necessary (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- -parchment paper-
Instructions
- For Pastry:
- Combine the flour with the butter, sugar and salt in a food processor and process until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining.
- Add the ice water over the flour mixture and process until the pastry just begins to come together.
- If not using a food processor, you can make the pastry by hand with a pastry cutter.
- Pat dough into approx a 6" disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 1/2 - 2 hours. This can be made well ahead of time if necessary.
- For Filling:
- Combine berries, sugar and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Gently mix together.
- To assemble:
- When dough is chilled, preheat oven to 400°F
- On a floured surface, roll out dough until roughly a 12"x14" rectangle. The corners can be rough and uneven and it's fine if you can't get roll the dough out to the full measurement.
- Transfer rolled dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush about half of the egg white onto the dough.
- Spoon the berry filling onto the dough, leaving a 2" border uncovered around the edge.
- Fold the edges up and over the filling, overlapping slightly.
- Brush remaining egg white over dough and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake until the filling is bubbly and the pastry is golden brown & crisp - about 40 - 50 minutes.
- If any of the berry mixture oozed out, spoon on top of galette
- Let rest on cookie sheet for about 10 minutes and then transfer galette, still on parchment paper, to wire rack to cool.
- Slice & enjoy ♥
Even Philadelphia doesn’t want to give up on the cold temperatures and snow. It’s making me mental and totally messing up my garden plans, ARGH! This is the perfect recipe for me now, because I just want fresh fruit and veggies and other warm weather things 🙂
I love this galette, it makes think of spring with the mix berries. Here in Minnesota, we are still waiting for spring to arrive. This galette sure would make my brighter and yummier.
This looks so delicious! Here in California it’s been hot and then cold. I am not looking forward to our summer here, although I think this for *cough* breakfast or anytime with some ice cream will make it bearable! Thanks for sharing Amanda!
This looks so perfect Amanda, and perfect for summer. Would you believe that even as a pie/berry fanatic, I rarely think to make a galette? I need to try this with the first fresh fruit of the season. Which will be later than usual as it’s been freezing up here for most of the Spring so far.
This looks delicious! I need to make galettes more often – I’m not sure why I don’t! I love all the berries in here – perfect for summer time!
This looks so BERRY good!! I have never made, or eaten, a galette, but pinning, because now I HAVE too! XOXO
