Plum Galette Recipe With A Flaky Whole Wheat Pie Crust

Step 1: To begin making Plum Galette Recipe, we will first have to get the pie dough ready and refrigerate it for a couple of hours

Step 2: First get all the ingredients ready for the pie dough and get your butter cut into small pea size pieces

Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar

Step 4: Add the butter into the flour mixture

Step 5: Work the butter into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse meal

Step 6: When you hold the flour together, it should hold tight and when you let it loose, it will fall apart

Step 7: Sprinkle ice water onto the flour and butter mixture

Step 8: Using your hands push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together

Step 9: Make sure to add little water at a time, as the heat from your hands will melt the butter and help form the dough as well

Step 10: You can transfer the pie dough on to a work surface and knead the dough until all the flour has come together to form a smooth dough

Step 11: Once done, wrap the dough in a cling film or a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a couple of hours

Step 12: This refrigeration process helps to give the pie crust a flaky texture

Step 13: Once refrigerated, we are now ready to roll the dough to form a crust

Step 14: Preheat the oven at 180 C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or generously flour the baking sheet

Step 15: Get the plums cut to the desired size and get the remaining ingredients ready

Step 16: Place the dough on a generously floured surface and roll the pie dough into a 11 to 12 inch round

Step 17: Transfer the pie dough into the baking sheet

Step 18: In a mixing bowl, stir together the corn flour, sugar and plums

Step 19: Spread this plum mixture evenly over the rolled out pie crust keeping the edges free for folding

Step 20: Once you have arranged the plums, fold the outer edge of the dough and cover part of the plums that are towards the edge

Step 21: You can decorate the edges by pleating them, using the fold technique

Step 22: Place the Plum Galette into the preheated oven, loosely cover with an aluminum foil and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes

Step 23: After about 35 minutes, you will notice the plum is bubbling

Step 24: At this stage, uncover the Plum Galette and bake in the open for another 5 to 8 minutes

Step 25: Once done and you notice the sides of the Galette is browned golden and crisp, remove from the oven

Step 26: Cool the Plum Galette, this process helps the plum mixture to become firm

Step 27: Serve the Plum Galette  along with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as a party dessert
