Galette

A galette is a French pastry consisting of a flat, round cake made of flaky pastry dough and usually filled with fruit. The dough is rolled out into a circle, the filling is placed in the center, and the pastry is then folded up around the filling to form a free-form pie or tart. Galettes can be made with a variety of different fillings, including fruit, nuts, chocolate, and cream.

The word galette comes from the Old French word galet, meaning "flat stone." The name likely refers to the flat, round shape of the pastry. Galettes have been made in France for centuries, and the first recorded recipe for a galette au sucre (sugar galette) dates back to 1653.

Galettes are typically made with a yeasted dough, which gives the pastry a light, fluffy texture. The dough is rolled out thin and then filled with the desired filling. It is then folded up around the filling, and the edges are crimped to seal in the filling. The galette is then baked until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
