What is a Galette?

If you’re wondering what a galette is, it’s not as fancy as it sounds. Essentially it’s a like an open pie – kind of like a pizza!

The two main components are the pastry dough and the fruit filling.

And galettes are fairly easy to make… easier than pie, in my opinion!

I’ve got a few other galette’s on FMK. I remember I went through what I call my “galette phase.” Once I learned how to make them, and that they were easier than pie, I wanted to make as many galette recipes as I could.

It’s basically like a fruit pizza… And who doesn’t like pizza?!

Ingredients You Need

  • almond flour and tapioca flour – these two flours together will create your pastry dough for the almond flour galette crust.
  • salt – just a pinch to balance the flavor.
  • coconut sugar – just a little bit to sweeten up the slightly tart raspberries. You can also use another granulated sugar.
  • frozen butter – use dairy-free to keep this recipe vegan friendly, or grass-fed butter for a more paleo friendly approach.
  • ice cold water + apple cider vinegar – you’ll want cold water to keep this dough as cold as possible for rolling and handling.
  • raspberries – Make sure to stock up on California Giant raspberries this season!

Fresh Raspberry Tips

When selecting fresh raspberries at the store, California Giant suggests looking for:

  • evenly colored berries
  • firm in texture
  • soft glossy look

Also note that raspberries don’t ripen after harvest.

Another good tip when purchasing raspberries is to check out the absorbent pad in the bottom of the container – if it appears wet or is stained, you’ll likely want to pick a different container.

How to Make a Galette

Step 1 – the dough

  • For the almond flour pastry dough you’ll start by mixing together ice cold water with apple cider vinegar and set aside.
  • Then in a bowl of a large food processor, pulse together flours, salt and granulated sugar.
  • Add in frozen cubed butter and pulse until butter has broken down into small bits. Add in ice cold water + ACV mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between until dough comes together.
  • Shape dough into disc then roll between parchment paper, about 10″ in diameter. Freeze flat dough for 1 hour, up to overnight.

NOTE: Dough should just come together and not be overly wet. If you think you added too much water, work in some more flour with your hands. If you think it’s too dry and dough doesn’t form a ball, add a tiny bit more water.

Once dough has chilled and you’re ready to bake, preheat oven to 350ºF.

Step 2 – the fruit filling

  • In a medium bowl combine raspberries with coconut sugar, vanilla and tapioca flour; gently combine being careful to not smash raspberries.
  • Carefully transfer the flat dough with parchment paper onto a baking sheet.
  • Add the filling to the center of dough, leaving about 2” around the edges.
  • Gently fold edges up around filling to create crust – it’s okay if some pieces break, just press back together. Add sliced almonds to crust edge if you’d like.

Step 3 – Bake & Serve!

Now it’s time to bake this delicious raspberry galette! You’ll want to bake the tart for about 30 minutes, or until the edges of crust are slightly golden.

And don’t forget the ice cream! It is a *MUST*.

Choose your favorite, but vanilla bean is always a good choice.

Vegan Friendly Recipe

This rustic raspberry galette is vegan friendly using plant-based butter (no eggs in the dough) and your favorite non-dairy ice cream.

Almond Flour Dough Tips

If you haven’t worked with almond flour to make a pie crust or pastry dough, it’s a little different than using all purpose flour.

The almond flour needs the tapioca flour to help hold things together.

You also want to make sure the dough is very cold after you’ve rolled it out. I suggest putting it in the freezer for 30 minutes.

As you start to fold up the edges, some pieces may end to break – don’t worry! Just press the dough back together and it bakes up just fine.

The buttery crust and sweet fruit filling paired with ice cream – you just can’t go wrong with this light summer dessert!

    Lovely dessert! Could not tell the crust was paleo! Excited to adapt this with other fillings. Curious whether the same dough could be used for a pie shell??

    Can I use all almond flour? Also, Can I use normal sugar instead of coconut sugar? This looks SO delicious! 🙂

      The tapioca flour helps the texture and bring it all together, so I wouldn’t recommend skipping that part. You can use any granulated sugar though. Happy Baking!

      unfortunately all almond flour won’t hold together as well without adding the tapioca. If you’re not completely grain-free, you could sub a gluten-free all purpose flour. Any kind of granulated sugar will work here. Hope that helps!

    Hi! this looks so good 🙂 i was wondering if there is any substitute for tapioca flour and if you can use organic cane sugar instead of coconut sugar. Thanks in advance!

      A sub for tapioca flour would be cornstarch or arrowroot. It just helps hold the almond flour together better than going without. It’s a fragile dough. And yes, any granulated sugar works 🙂
