Is galette dough the same as pie dough?

A galette uses the same type of dough that is used for a pie, it’s just bakes different. A galette is baked on a baking sheet, and the edges of the dough are folded up over the filling. A pie is made in a circular pie plate, with the dough going up the sides of the dish. A pie sometimes has a second pie crust on top of the filling.

Prep: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and preheat the oven to 375°F. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit while you prepare the blueberries.
Galette Filling: Mix the monk fruit or sugar, lemon zest, and flour in a large bowl. Fold in the blueberries and lemon juice and let stand for 15 minutes.
Galette Dough: Roll out the pie dough to a 13-inch round with a rolling pin about 1/8-inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Fold the pastry in half and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Form the Galette: Spoon the blueberries into the center of the dough, leaving a 1 ½-border. Fold the border up and over the blueberries. Brush the egg white on the pastry and sprinkle with a few pinches of sweetener.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the blueberry filling starts to bubble.
Cool: Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack and let it cool until warm. Cut into eight wedges with a pastry cutter and serve warm or at room temperature.

How to Store a Galette

Storage: Once the galette has cooled completely, store any leftovers loosely covered at room temperature for up to 1 day, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To warm it up: Place a slice in a 300°F oven or toaster oven for about 10 minutes until heated through. This helps crisp the crust back up. You can also microwave it for 20–30 seconds, but the crust will be softer.
