Instructions

1. 
   

   Make the galette crust: In a medium/large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, in addition to sugar. Cut the mutual coldness butter into chunks in addition to add together to the bowl. Cut inwards the butter using a pastry cutter, until the pieces of butter are pea-sized. Add the mutual coldness H2O in addition to the sour cream, in addition to start gently mixing it into the dough amongst a fork. Once the mixture starts to resemble a dough, utilization your hands to gently run it into a ball. Flatten the ball slightly into a thick disc of dough, wind tightly inwards plastic wrap, in addition to chill inwards the freezer for 45 minutes. 

   
   


2. 
   

   Make the Caramel Sauce: Find my Easy Salted Caramel Sauce recipe here. Make it acre the dough chills. Set the caramel aside to thicken upward acre you lot furnish to finishing the galette.

   
   


3. 
   

   Make the filling: While the dough chills, gently stir together all the filling ingredients inwards a medium bowl.

   
   


4. 
   

   Roll the crust: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Get out a large circular pizza pan or a large cookie canvass in addition to business amongst parchment paper. 

   Flour the counter in addition to the rolling pivot in addition to take the dough from the freezer. If you lot froze it longer than 45 minutes it may need to sit down out for 5-10 minutes earlier you lot tin ringlet it. This volition preclude the dough from non bad likewise much. Take off the plastic wrap. Begin rolling out the dough, gently, turning continuously thence it doesn't stick to the counter. Be patient in addition to gently hither - we're non trying to stretch the dough all the agency out inwards a few passes of the rolling pin! That leads to tougher dough, in addition to non bad of the dough. 

   Once the dough is virtually 12-14 inches inwards diameter, gently ringlet it onto the rolling pivot in addition to transfer it onto the prepared baking sheet. (See note)

   
   


5. 
   

   Assemble: Lay the pears on the dough, leaving 2 inches but about the outer edge. I made 3 circles, starting amongst the exterior border in addition to working my agency to the center.  Fold the edges of the crust upward over the filling, working inwards pocket-size sections. This is a rustic dessert - it doesn't bring to await perfect!

   
   


6. 
   

   Bake: Beat an egg inwards a pocket-size dish in addition to add together a splash of milk - this is your egg wash. Brush it over the pie crust in addition to and then sprinkle the crust amongst coarse/raw sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until crust is golden brownish in addition to sounds solid/crisp when tapped (it shouldn't live soft).

   
   


7. 
   

   Serve in addition to store: Slice in addition to serve the galette immediately, amongst vanilla H2O ice cream in addition to caramel sauce. Store leftovers, covered tightly, at room temp for upward to 2 days. The crust volition lose some of it's crisp-ness afterward this thence it's best to consume it the outset day!

   
   

Recipe Notes

NOTE: When you lot transfer the rolled out dough onto your baking sheet, become tardily in addition to gently. Place the rolling pivot at the goal of the dough closest to your body, leaving a few inches betwixt the border of the dough in addition to the rolling pin. Lift the border of the dough thence it wraps but about the top of the rolling pivot to instruct things going, in addition to then tardily ringlet the rolling pivot forward. Once most of the dough is rolled up, rapidly slide the prepared pan underneath the rolling pivot (which you're belongings a piffling ways off the counter) in addition to and then gently lower the rolling pin/dough downwards onto the pan. Un-roll. If the dough isn't perfectly aligned on the pan or parchment newspaper - don't worry! You'll live folding upward the edges inwards a flake in addition to everything volition check onto the parchment/pan.
