Ingredients
Galette Dough (or use ready-to-bake pie crust)
- 1 ¾ cups (210 grams) all purpose flour, spooned and leveled*
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 tablespoons (140 grams) unsalted butter, very cold
- ⅓ cup (80ml) cold water
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Frangipane
- 1 cup (100 grams) blanched almond flour
- ⅓ cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
Frangipane Rhubarb Galette
- 5–6 stalks rhubarb, chopped
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- sliced almonds to garnish
Instructions
Galette Dough
- Mix together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Grate the cold butter or cut into small cubes and add to the bowl.
- Begin working the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or a pair of forks, but do not incorporate entirely. The dough should resemble coarse crumbs and still have flecks of butter in it.
- Add half of the water and the apple cider vinegar. Begin mixing the dough. Gradually add the rest of the water as necessary until the dough begins to come together.
- Turn out the dough onto your counter and knead a few times until it comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for an hour in the refrigerator.
Frangipane
- Beat all ingredients together until soft and creamy. Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
Frangipane Rhubarb Galette
- Roll out the dough on parchment paper into a rough circle approximately ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick.
- Spread the frangipane onto the dough in an even layer, leaving approximately 2 inches (5 cm) around the edges.
- Place the rhubarb on top of the frangipane in a single layer. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of sugar over the rhubarb.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the rhubarb leaving the center exposed.
- Brush the dough with a lightly beaten egg and sprinkle with almonds if desired.
- Transfer the galette and parchment paper to a baking sheet. If using homemade dough and it seems to be quite warm, place the baking sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake the galette for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Measuring Flour: We highly recommend using a kitchen scale to measure flour. If measuring by volume, use the spoon and level method to avoid over-measuring the flour. Lightly spoon flour into the measuring cup until it’s completely full. Then run the back of a knife over the cup to gently scrape off any excess.
