Plum Galette
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
- Galette Pate Brisee (recipe follows)
- 1/2 cup finely ground toasted hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 pounds (about 5) plums, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup plum or red currant jam
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup ice water
- (makes enough for 1 galette)
- Preheat the oven to 425F, with a rack in the lower third.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pate brisee to 1/8 inch thick.
- Trim the edges to form a 16 x 18-inch rectangle, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, hazelnuts, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt; spread to cover the middle of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border all around.
- Arrange the plums in rows on top, slightly overlapping the slices and alternating the direction of each row.
- Sprinkle the plums with granulated sugar.
- Fold the dough to enclose the edges; brush the dough with egg wash. Chill 30 minutes in refrigerator.
- Bake 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven heat to 400F; bake until the pastry is golden brown and the plums are softened, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack; let cool to room temperature.
- Heat the jam in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted.
- Let cool a few minutes; brush evenly over the plum slices.
- Serve.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse the flour and salt.
- Add the butter; pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 15 seconds.
- With the machine running, add the water in a slow, steady stream; process until the dough just holds together.
- Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and flatten into a disk; wrap well.
- Chill at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
