The great thing about a galette? The more rustic (read messed up) it looks, the better. Novice bakers, this one's for you.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 10

Ingredients

Dough:

1/2 cup pecans
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Filling and assembly:

12 ounces blueberries (about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
All-purpose flour (for surface)
2 tablespoons milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream

Preparation

  1. Dough:

    Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened, 10–15 minutes; let cool. Pulse pecans in a food processor until the consistency of coarse meal. Add flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon and pulse just to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining.

    Step 2

    Transfer to a large bowl; drizzle with 4 tablespoons ice water and mix, adding another tablespoonful of water if needed, just until mixture comes together. Gently pat dough into a 6"-diameter disk. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 1 hour.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 3

    Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled, or freeze up to 1 month.

  3. Filling and assembly:

    Step 4

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss blueberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl.

    Step 5

    Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12" round. Carefully transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Mound blueberries in center of dough, leaving a 2" border. Fold edges over, overlapping slightly. Brush dough with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

    Step 6

    Bake galette until crust is dark golden brown and filling is bubbling, 45–50 minutes. Let cool before serving.

  4. Do Ahead

    Step 7

    Galette can be baked 1 day ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
