Recipe: Vegan Blueberry Galettes

These rustic vegan blueberry galettes are one of my favourite summer desserts because they are wonderfully simple.

The dough comes together in just a few minutes, the blueberries require no preparation, and the recipe can easily be adapted using whatever fruit happens to be in season.

For this version, I decorated the galettes with flowers and leaves cut from the same dough. I baked the decorations separately, almost like little cookies, before placing them on top of the finished galettes.

Ingredients

Dough

• 1½ cups flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 tablespoon organic sugar

• ¼ cup oil

• ½ cup warm water

• Zest of 1/2 lemon

Filling

• Fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and sugar.

2. Add the oil, warm water and lemon zest.

3. Mix until a soft dough forms.

4. Reserve a small amount of dough for decorations.

5. Divide the dough into four portions.

6. Roll each portion into a rustic circle.

7. Place a generous handful of blueberries in the centre.

8. Fold the edges over the fruit, leaving the middle exposed.

9. Cut flowers, leaves or other decorative shapes from the remaining dough.

10. Bake the decorative pieces separately until lightly golden.

11. Bake the galettes at 180°C for approximately 30–35 minutes, or until golden.

12. Allow them to cool slightly before adding the decorative pastry flowers.

Notes

This recipe works beautifully with blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, plums or apples as well.

The rustic appearance is part of the charm, so don't worry about perfect edges. In fact, I suspect Aunt Florence would have considered slightly wonky galettes far more interesting.
