And the perfect gluten-free baked dessert to start with is a gluten-free galette! Why? Because galettes get to be rustic and not perfect – so if creating that perfect pie crust is overwhelming – a galette is here to the rescue.

Sometimes I can’t quite get the mixture as coarse as I’d like so I will use my hands and gently finish the cutting in of the butter – just don’t overwork the flour mixture. The mixture should look similar to this.

Gluten-free Galette FAQs

Can I make a gluten-free galette dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can refrigerate the gluten-free galette dough for up to 3 days. You will want to ensure it’s wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or something equivalent, and also let warm up a bit at room temperature before rolling out.

What is the difference between a galette and a crostata?

A galette and crostata are essentially one and the same (one from France, one from Italy). They are both free-form, rustic desserts made with rough-edged dough that is folded up around the filling.

Can I freeze gluten-free galette dough?

The tightly wrapped dough can be frozen for 2-3 weeks. You’ll want to let it thaw at room temperature before rolling.
