Making pie dough on a hot day is not the smartest idea. The cold butter for that flaky crust was softening and melting unbelievably fast! My freezer door opened and closed for a countless amount of times that night.
Nonetheless, the crust turned out well.. Could not have guessed that it was made on the hottest day yet in 2016.
Galette Dough
recipe adapted from Hummingbird High
1 cup all-purpose flour*
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt*
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1-inch cubes*
4 tablespoons water, very cold
*subbed with 113g white whole wheat flour, skipped salt and used salted butter
1. In food processor, briefly pulse together flour, sugar and salt until combined.
2. Add in butter and pulse until small beads form.
3. Dribble in cold water and pulse until dough starts to come together as a ball.
4. Flatten dough to a flat disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
5. When dough is chilled, roll out into a 14-inch circle about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly-floured surface.
6. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for at least another 30 minutes before using.
