Preparation

1
To make sweet tart dough:
2
Mix flour and salt.
3
Melt coconut oil, then stir with flour and salt until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4
Add maple syrup gradually (if dough does not hold together on its own, add just enough ice water to hold dough together).
5
Mix until a soft workable ball forms in the bowl; do not overmix.
6
Add a small amount of flour if necessary.
7
Shape the dough with your hands into a flattened disc.
8
Roll dough out between two sheets of parchment paper; dust flour over the bottom sheet and on top of the dough.
9
Use quick gentle strokes to start rolling from the center outward in each direction, like a compass.
10
Transfer the parchment covered dough onto a baking sheet.
11
Refrigerate the dough on the baking sheet while preparing the blueberry filling.
12
To make blueberry basil filling:
13
Preheat oven to 350° F.
14
In a medium bowl, whisk 1/4 cup of the sugar, arrowroot powder, and sea salt together.
15
Rinse and drain blueberries in a strainer, then transfer to a towel and blot dry.
16
Gently stir in blueberries, basil, lemon zest, and lemon juice; set aside.
17
Remove dough from refrigerator.
18
Peel off top layer of parchment paper.
19
Pour blueberry filling over tart dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
20
Fold the dough border over the blueberry filling to form a pleated ruffle.
21
Brush the folded dough border with 2 teaspoons oil, then pat the berries with the rest.
22
Sprinkle the crust with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
23
Bake about 45-55 minutes, or until the galette is golden and thick juices bubble on top.
24
Cool completely before serving.
