Ingredients  

For the dough:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out dough
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves 
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3 Tablespoons ice water 

For the filling:

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 large egg, whisked with 1 Tablespoon water
  • Sanding sugar, for topping (optional)
  • Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving

Instructions 

MAKE THE DOUGH:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, thyme, white sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand. With the motor running, slowly stream in the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to form a ball. Do not overmix the dough.
  • Shape the dough into a disk and wrap it securely in plastic wrap. Refrigerate it for 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.

MAKE THE FILLING:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and lemon juice. Set the filling aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour your work surface. Remove the dough from the fridge, then using a rolling pin, roll into a 14-inch round. Drape the dough around your rolling pin and transfer it to the baking sheet.
  • Transfer the filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Using your fingers, fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling. Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash, then sprinkle it with sanding sugar (optional).
  • Bake the galette for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. (The juices in the galette will thicken as it cools.)
  • Slice the galette into wedges, then top with whipped cream or ice cream and serve.
