Question 5

Can I make Galette ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

To prevent your Galette from becoming too soggy, make sure to drain excess liquid from your fruit or vegetables before adding them to the Galette. You can also sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs or almond flour on the crust before adding the filling to absorb any excess moisture.

Question 7

Can I freeze my Galette?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can freeze your Galette by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and storing it in an airtight container for up to 2 months. To reheat, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warm.

Question 8

How do I get a crispy crust for my Galette?

Accepted Answer

To get a crispy crust for your Galette, make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. Also, bake the Galette on a preheated baking sheet in a hot oven at 400°F for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Question 9

When does Galette expire?

Accepted Answer

A freshly baked galette tends to retain its quality for about 1 to 2 days at room temperature, and about 1 week if refrigerated. If you've bought a packaged galette, it will typically have a 'best before' date on the label. Once opened, it's best to consume within a week. Frozen galettes can last 2-3 months in the freezer but the quality might degrade after a month.

Question 10

How do you tell if Galette is bad?

Accepted Answer

If your galette starts to smell sour or funky, or if it has visible mold, it's time to toss it. The pastry should feel firm but not hard; if it has become hard, dry or crumbly, it's probably past its prime. Also, look for changes in color. A stale galette may darken.

Question 11

Tips for storing Galette to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always allow your galette to cool completely before storing it. Storing it while still warm can lead to condensation, which could make it soggy.

• Store leftover galette in an airtight container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it from drying out.

• Want to freeze a galette? First wrap it in a double layer of plastic and then add a layer of aluminum foil for good measure. To thaw, leave it in the refrigerator for a day before you plan to serve it.

• Don't cut the galette into slices until you're ready to serve it. Every cut or slice exposes more surface area to air, speeding up the staling process.
