Postup
Krok za krokem
- 1
Prepare the frangipane filling: in a medium bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Přibližně 5 min
- 2
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Přibližně 2 min
- 3
Stir in the almond flour, almond extract, and optional rum until just combined. Cover the frangipane and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Chilling the frangipane makes it easier to spread.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Přibližně 10 min
- 5
Unroll one sheet of puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. If using a fève, place it somewhere on this pastry circle, ensuring it's not too close to the edge.
Přibližně 1 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Make sure to warn guests about the fève before serving!
- 6
Evenly spread the chilled frangipane over the puff pastry, leaving a 2 cm (1 inch) border around the edge.
Přibližně 3 min
- 7
Brush the exposed pastry border with a little water.
Přibližně 1 min
- 8
Carefully place the second sheet of puff pastry over the frangipane filling, aligning the edges.
Přibližně 1 min
- 9
Gently press down the edges of the two pastry sheets to seal them, then crimp with a fork to create a decorative edge.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure a good seal to prevent the frangipane from leaking out during baking.
- 10
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk for the egg wash.
Přibližně 1 min
- 11
Brush the top of the galette generously with the egg wash. Avoid letting the egg wash drip down the sides, as this can inhibit the pastry from rising.
Přibližně 2 min
- 12
Using a sharp knife, score a decorative pattern on the top of the galette without cutting all the way through the pastry.
Přibližně 2 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Common patterns include spirals or criss-cross lines.
- 13
Cut a small vent hole in the center of the galette to allow steam to escape during baking.
Přibližně 1 min
- 14
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the filling is set.
Přibližně 40 min
Poznámka kuchaře: If the top browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
- 15
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Přibližně 2 h
Poznámka kuchaře: The galette is best enjoyed at room temperature.
