I’ll never stop marveling at the fact that citrus grows best in winter. Living in Montana, it’s so nice to see such bright and colorful plant friends when it’s nothing but grey skies and snowy floors outside. This orange galette is the perfect winter go to when you want a light, sweet and simple desert. It’ll also make all your friends smile simply by looking at it ✨ 

INGREDIENTS  

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tbs sugar
1/4 tsp salt
7 tbs chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons ice water (or more)
1 beaten egg (for brushing)

 Filling 

5-7 oranges - use a mix of blood orange, Cara Cara and clementines, or whatever you have on hand!
1/4 honey, runny enough to drizzle  

METHOD  

Whisk flour, salt and sugar together. Add butter, then mix together with your hands, until dough is course and crumbly. Add 2 tablespoons of water and continue to mix with your hands, adding more water if dough is dry (I added about 5). Once dough is sticky, form into a ball then roll out in a small disk form. Wrap with plastic wrap and keep in fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

Filling  

Using a small paring knife, carefully cut the skin off your oranges. Once skin is removed, slice the fruit, making each slice about a quarter of an inch thick.  

Preheat the oven to 350˚. Remove dough from the fridge and let it rest on the counter for about 10 minutes before rolling out. Roll dough out on a parchment paper to a 12 inch round. Transfer dough and parchment paper to baking sheet and layer orange slices onto the dough. Leave a 2 inch border of dough alongside the edges for folding. Begin crimping and folding dough around the fruit edges to decorate and contain filling. Brush beaten egg on dough and drizzle honey on orange slices and dough. Bake for 40 minutes or until crust has browned. 

Serve warm with yogurt or ice cream.
