Rustic Galette Made With Leftover Pastry Dough

Ingredients

  • leftover pastry dough (see note 1)
  • filling of choice (see note 2)
  • 1 beaten egg for brushing (see note 3)
  • a sprinkle of sugar for sweet galettes (see note 3)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190℃ (375℉).
  • Gather your leftover pastry scraps and press them together. Roll out into a rough circle on a lightly floured surface.
  • Spread or place your desired filling in the middle, leaving about 1–2 cm around the edges clear.
  • Fold over the edges of the pastry, pressing gently to seal. Don't worry if it looks rustic, that's the charm of a galette.
  • Optional: brush the pastry with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar for sweet versions.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  • Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
