This mixed berry galette is incredibly delicious, with homemade pastry and combination of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries it is a perfect summer dessert.
Spring and summer is the season when berries are in abundance and its perfect time to use them in dessert like Strawberry Crumble, or bake Ultimate Blueberry Muffins and Strawberry Cake.
For this recipe I have used homemade pastry but if you want to use store bought pastry that works perfectly well too.
What is a Galette?
Galette is a French version of pie. It’s made using basic pie dough. Pie dough is rolled out into a large circle; filled with fruit in center, leaving at least a three-inch border on sides. The border is then partially folded over the filling, leaving the middle part exposed.

For Pastry – The pastry dough is made with Plain flour/all-purpose flour, butter, salt and ice-cold water.
Berry Filling
- Berries: You can use any combination of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or blackberries.

Yes! You can use frozen berries. This means that you can enjoy this dessert all year long. Use them straight from the freezer without defrosting.
How to make Pastry from scratch?
As opposed to common belief pastry is incredibly easy to make. You just need 3 basic ingredients for making this pastry. I use softened butter at room temperature. Combine butter and flour along with little salt, it should look like a crumb. I use fork to mix butter and flour, you can also use hands and rub it together.
Another important thing is to use ice cold water. Add ice cubes to a glass of water, once the water is ice cold add it gradually to the dough. You don’t need to add too much water, just few tablespoons are enough.
Once the dough forms clumps and starts to hold together, transfer it to a clean surface dusted with some flour. Gather the mixture in a mound. And using hands knead the dough until it all comes together and holds the shape.
Cover the dough with cling wrap and refrigerate for couple of hours.
Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before you start rolling it.
This recipe for dough is enough for 2 galettes. You can even refrigerate the dough or freeze it for later use.
You can also make small mini galette instead of large one.
