Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest. Add the blueberries and peaches, and toss to combine. Sprinkle over the lemon juice, and toss again.
Roll the pastry crust onto a greased cookie sheet. Heap the fruit mixture into the middle, leaving about an inch of dough as a border, then fold up the dough around the edges up over the fruit (the middle will have a lot of fruit showing). Dot the fruit with the butter, and brush the dough around the edges with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the egg-brushed dough with a bit of granulated sugar.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbly, and the crust is firm and browned. Cool slightly or completely on the pan.
Bring to someone you love.
Notes
You could use any berry and any stone fruit (peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots) combo in the crostada/galette. A terrific and easy way to make use of seasonal fruit. And to bring to someone to thank them for any kindness big or small.
