Hello, dear ones! Today I want to treat you to galetta with apricots and cherries. A piece of cake made of crumbly tender dough with the addition of oat flakes and fragrant, juicy filling of fresh fruits and berries is a great start to the day. In the evening we prepare a biscuit, and in the morning we enjoy delicious pastries. I invite you to have breakfast with me!
Prepare the dough. Grind the oat flakes (in a coffee grinder). I have whole grain oatmeal. Then add flour, crushed oat flakes, sugar, salt, baking powder and mix well with a whisk in a blender bowl.
Add the diced cooled butter and whisk until the mixture looks like a large crumb. It is allowed to use small pieces of butter no larger than a pea.
Pour in kefir or any dairy product that is at hand. Using a fork, mix the flour with kefir. Quickly form a ball of dough.
Roll out the dough in the form of a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to cool.
Wash the apricots, remove the seeds, cut into quarters. In a bowl, add apricots, sugar, lemon zest, 1 tsp starch, vanilla and mix gently.
Roll out the cooled dough on a floured surface. I roll it out right on the silicone mat on which I’m going to bake. In this case, there is no need to put the cookies on a baking sheet. Therefore, I advise you to roll out either on a silicone mat or on parchment.
Put the dough in the center, sprinkle with 1 tsp of starch. Those who do not like starch can sprinkle with crumbled cookies or semolina. Put apricots and cherries around, stepping back from the edge by 5-6 cm.
Wrap the dough over the filling, forming folds. Mix the yolk with milk to lubricate the edges of the cookies. Sprinkle oatmeal on top. Place the galette on a baking tray. I just put the mat on the baking tray. Bake in a preheated 180-190°C oven for about 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Focus on your oven.
Cool the galette and serve it to the table.
Bon appetit and warm sunny autumn days!
