Notes

Don't slice the pears until you're ready to top the galette to prevent them from turning brown.
Make sure your pie dough is cold at all times. This makes it easier to handle and ensures it bakes up tender and flaky.
The leek mixture must be completely cooled before adding it to the pie dough. If the mixture is still warm, it will warm the dough and will not bake up as well.
Pop the galette into the freezer for a few minutes before baking to help the crust stay flaky.
