Instructions

1
|
In a medium bowl combine the flour and salt.
2
|
Cut the cold butter into cubes and toss in the flour.
3
|
Using your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until pea sized pieces are left.
4
|
Add a couple tablespoon of water, then toss with your hands to combine.
5
|
Continue adding very small amounts of water until the dough can hold together, but is not overly wet.
6
|
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, then chill for one hour.
7
|
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a rough rectangle, fold in half, then again into quarters.
8
|
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for another 30 minutes.
9
|
Roll the dough out again into a rough rectangle and repeat the folding process.
10
|
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill overnight.
11
|
In a small saucepan, add the balsamic vinegar and place over medium heat.
12
|
Boil until reduced to half, about 10 minutes.
13
|
Weigh out 113g (½ cup) of the balsamic vinegar into a large bowl.
14
|
Mix in the molasses and vanilla bean paste. Set aside.
15
|
Cut the pears in half, core them, then cut them into slices, keeping the top intact.*
16
|
Place the sliced pears into the balsamic molasses mixture and allow to soak.
17
|
Meanwhile, make the spiced sugar and roll out the pie dough.
18
|
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, spices, and salt. Set aside.
19
|
Preheat the oven to 4oo degrees F.
20
|
On a large piece of parchment paper, roll the pie dough out into a circle about ⅛" in thickness.
21
|
Transfer the pie dough to a large baking sheet.
22
|
Arrange the soaked pears onto the pie dough, leaving a border around the edge.
23
|
Sprinkle the spiced sugar all over the pears and in between the slices.
24
|
Fold the edges of the pie dough over onto the pears, then brush them with an egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
25
|
Place the butter on top of the pears.
26
|
Bake the galette for about 30 minutes or until the pie crust is evenly golden and the filling is bubbling.
27
|
Allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for another half hour or so.
28
|
Top with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chill Your Dough Properly ❄️
    Keep your pie dough cold throughout the process by chilling it for at least 30 minutes before rolling, and refrigerate again for 15 minutes after shaping to ensure a flaky, buttery crust that doesn't shrink.
  • Slice Pears Strategically 🍐
    Cut pears into thin, uniform slices just before assembly and toss them immediately with lemon juice to prevent browning and ensure even cooking throughout the galette.
  • Bloom Your Spices 🌟
    Toast your cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice in a dry pan for 30 seconds before grinding or mixing into the filling to intensify their flavors and create a more complex, aromatic spice profile.
  • Balance Balsamic and Molasses 🖤
    Reduce your balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the filling—this concentrates the acidity and prevents a soggy galette while enhancing the deep sweetness of the molasses.
  • Master the Egg Wash Application 🥚
    Apply egg wash only to the crust edges with a pastry brush and avoid the filling area to prevent a greasy, unevenly cooked surface while achieving a beautiful golden-brown finish.
