I have been meaning to join Tuesdays with Dorie for a while now. The book the group is working on now is Baking with Julia, by Dorie Greenspan.
It happens to be one of my favorite books and I have sticky notes on every other page in the book. They are all recipes I have been meaning to try and just haven’t gotten around to baking quite yet.
I wasn’t sure if I would find the time to get this recipe together yesterday. To my surprise, the recipe for this Tuesday luckily was on of my favorites! It’s a wonderful galette dough made with cornmeal. You could also add sour cream to the dough if you are out of yogurt. The dough is amazing. It is soft and has a little crispiness to it form the cornmeal.It was poring rain (again)and my camera battery was about to die. I found a little break in the afternoon to make the dough and I should’ve let it chill a little longer. I’m being too picky because none of my baking testers here were opposed to it’s results. In fact, it disappeared really fast.
I make this galette pretty often with apples and whatever fruits I have on hand that are ripe. I also love to make it for dinner sometimes as a savory galette.I had some perfectly ripe strawberries and some frozen blueberries. I decided to make 6 mini galettes so everyone could have there own pretty little portion; almost like mini pies.

Yum I just love all the Summer fruit and the individual servings of these galette's are so fun.
very berry and super cute these galettes are! I always like the idea of individual desserts and these would be just perfect!
This looks so summery and scrumptious!
Perfectly beautiful galettes! Love the individual servings…such a treat for dessert! I really loved the dough. I thought it had a great texture due to the corn meal. Have a great day!!
Beautiful! Individual serving galettes are a wonderful idea.
These are absolutely adorable! I love these pint size beauties!
I just noticed your new post Lora. Love, love the cute and yummy little galettes. The crunchy crust, and the fruit filling was so perfect. I only got to taste 1/2 of one of the galettes, and Gabby was already cautioning me, that she needs to have one for breakfast, he, he! Great photos, as well!xoxo
Mini galettes are adorable. The strawberries look caramelized and juicy!
I love the idea of giving everyone their own! Welcome to the group!
I love the individual galettes. These look so cute and delicious!
Your mini galettes looks wonderful! I have the book, if only I have more time!!
Those photos are the epitome of summer baking. They look delicious!
Very cute. I must get my hands on one of Dorie's books, I don't think she's very well known down under or even in the UK. This has to change!
Love, love, love these little galettes – I have never made galette before, because I have a bit of a pastry phobia. But, I'm intrigued by a dough which has cornmeal and yoghurt, so I think I have to try. Not much in the way of summer fruits around here right now, but I'm thinking I might be able to get away with some frozen berries, or even tinned apricots.
Welcome! I love mini desserts. It is always fun to get your own personal package. They look wonderful.
What an interesting sounding recipe for galette dough with the cornmeal and yogurt and/or sour cream and what an enticing looking fruity galette.
