Instructions
PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 425˚F. Lay a piece of parchment paper on the baking sheet.
MIX THE BLUEBERRY FILLING. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. (To grab a pinch of salt, pour a little salt in one hand and with your other pinch a little salt between your pointer finger and thumb.) Then fold the blueberries into your sugar mixture and set aside.
SLICE THE PUFF PASTRY DOUGH. Unroll the puff pastry dough on a cutting board, sprinkling a light dusting of flour under the dough if it starts to stick. Cut the puff pastry into four equal squares. Trim and round the corners just a little for each square of dough, making them the same shape as an app icon.
PREPARE THE DOUGH FOR THE FILLING. Beat your egg with the water. This is called an egg wash. It’s used to help pastries and bread get a brown crust. Brush the egg wash around the outside of each pastry square. Place 1/4 cup of blueberry mixture in the middle of each square.
FOLD THE DOUGH AND PRESS IT FIRMLY TOGETHER. Fold the outside edge of the dough in, pressing with a spoon to make an edge crust like a pizza crust. Turn the galette and keep folding in the edge around the whole outside. The folds should be about 1/2 inch of dough. Repeat this for all four galettes.
BAKE THE GALETTES. Using a silicone brush, brush the entire crust of the galettes with the egg mixture. Sprinkle the edges of your galettes with a little sugar. Bake in the oven for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the galettes begin to turn a light golden-brown color on the edges. Let the galettes cool and enjoy!
