Since I started this whole Domestic thing a few months ago, I can now say, oh, yes, this was my Second attempt at making a galette. (The first I HATED.) This one was much better, and much easier, and MUCH tastier. That’s because Dorie Greenspan is a genius…and that’s about all I have to say about that.
It has been at least 2 weeks since I made this galette. Honestly, I am not entirely sure how to SAY galette (is it GALETTE, GAL-AY, JALETTE, JAL-AY? Dunno.) But I do know it’s a pie. A drippy pie without a pie pan. And it’s good. But then again, it uses Dorie’s Good for Almost Anything Pie Crust, which I now keep on hand in my freezer just for moments when Just About Anything occurs. (For the record, it does not vacuum or clean the toilet.)
I filled the pie with peaches from the back yard, blueberries from Bob Pond Farm, Cherries and Plums from the Farmer’s Market, and Black & Red Raspberries that Jon picked while working. So, very fresh. And the custard? Well, that was like the icing on the cake. I mean, custard on the pie, erm, Galette. We served it at the little get-together we had during the weekend that my in-laws visited, and it was gone in about 2.2 seconds. Served up with vanilla ice cream, it didn’t stand a chance. That’s why so few pictures, people. The natives were acting as if starved, and me snapping pictures was not overly tolerated. Forget about seeing it in a serving dish…you are lucky to see it at all.
For the recipe, again, head on over to amazon.com and buy Dorie Greenspan’s Baking From My Home to Yours…or, check out Michelle in Colorado Springs because she selected this weeks recipe and she has it posted on her site. Next up…Black and White Banana Loaf chosen by Ashlee of A Year In The Kitchen.

i’m sure it was a sell-out dessert!
great pictures nonetheless!
If you do find something that vacuums and cleans toilets, please let us all know! =) Nice job on the galette–I’m amazed you fit all those different fruits in there!
What a delicious looking combination of fruits. I think your galette turned out fabulous!
You are so lucky to have peaches in your backyard! Gorgeous galette…

A galette is not a pie, the French say it for everything round like records, money … Great pictures

Lovely galette! What a beautiful selction of summer fruits you picked. It really is too bad Dorie’s crust doesn’t do toilets, then we’d have more time for baking!
Looks delicious!
Mmmmmm. When you get your dough to do housework, please let me know.
looks beautiful! i will say that i enjoyed the galette even more the second day.
Congrats on quite a food week-Dorie comment, Taste spotting and Food gawker. What a way to crown the week with this beautiful galette.
It looks fan-freakin-tastic! I love your photos!!
So glad you loved it too, we did as well. Score another for Dorie!
I’m glad you liked your second attempt at a galette. I love the wide variety of fruit you used too.
I want to come and get some peaches from your yard! Wow you always have such an awesome assortment of fruit. Great job on the galette!
Your photos are gorgeous! THAT is what I wanted my galette (you are right… how DO you pronounce it??) to look like!! Beautiful!
i need to have some of the pie crust on hand too! the glimpses you gave us of your vanishing galette look great!
That’s a gorgeous galette! I’m not surprised it disappeared so quickly! I read your post on world peace cookies, and I saw the link to the blog about sending cookies to our soldiers in Iraq. Thank you for directing your readers there; I am going to put together a package of cookies this weekend.
Whoa…that’s a whole lotta fruit packed into that galette. Nice! It looks beautiful.
What wonderful flavor combinations! Your galette looks beautiful and delicious, any way you pronounce it.
It looks delicious! Great job!
Your galette looks beautiful! I love the combination of fruit that you used!
When you figure out how to get your dough to clean please PLEASE let me know. I am very jealous of the peaches in your backyard. We have weeds that we pretend are grass.
Talk about perfect! That’s what I’m seeing right here!
Mmm, wow, yours looks delish… what’s that you’ve got sprinkled on top? I can see why it disappeared so fast.
Awesome pics!
that looks delicious! just a shame it wont do the vacuuming! :0)
lol, the galette didn’t last long in our house either

Great looking galette!
It sounds like your galette was well received! I’ve been wondering about how to say the name as well….but no matter how you say it, it tastes good
Beautiful!!! I love all the different fruits!
Your galette looks fabulous. You have peach trees in your backyard?! I am sooooo jealous. BTW, your little boy is absolutely precious – but you already know that
Peaches from the backyard?? Heck yes. It looks wonderful, you did a great job.
Gorgeous galette. (which I believe is pronounced guy-ETT).
And you’re right. Dorie IS a genius.
