Strawberry Rhubarb Galette Recipe

Strawberry Rhubarb Galette Recipe

According to wiki, a Galette is a term used in French cuisine to designate various types of flat round or freeform crusty cakes, or, in the case of a Breton galette, a pancake made with buckwheat flour usually with a savoury filling. We see them mainly as easy to make desserts filled with fresh (or frozen) fruit! A galette is short, and the filling is open while the sides are turned up. Unlike a pie, a galette is baked on a baking (cookie) sheet… and can spread and run. I am sure everyone looking at this recipe has had at least one galette experience where the fruit filling has leaked all over the pan – too much liquid can be an issue. This recipe breaks down and thickens the fruit juices.

Generally speaking, galettes are easy to make, although each step does take some time. In this recipe a premade pie crust shell is used. If you are looking for a nice, sweet dough to try with this recipe (realizing I have not used it to make this strawberry rhubarb galette), try this easy pie crust dough recipe.

What is more spring-y than rhubarb!? Using fresh (or you can use frozen fruit if you are out of rhubarb season) fruit, this pretty galette dessert is easy to make, but impressive to serve – not to mention super tasty!

Strawberry Rhubarb Galette Ingredients

1 cup Rhubarb, fresh or frozen, cut in pieces
¼ cup Sugar
1 cup Strawberries, fresh or frozen, cut in pieces
1 tsp Vanilla
1 TBSP Cornstarch
1 TBSP Water
1 Pie Dough Shell, premade, rolled
1 Egg, beaten
2 TBSP Demerara Sugar – you could also use decorator white or clear sugar crystals

Strawberry Rhubarb Galette Mise en Place:

● Measuring Cup
● Bowl
● Measuring Spoons
● Spatula
● Parchment Paper
● Baking Sheet (Cookie Sheet)

Strawberry Rhubarb Galette Directions

● Add the sugar and rhubarb together in a bowl. Mix well and let sit for 30 minutes.
● After 30 minutes is up, add the strawberries along with the rhubarb mixture to a pot. Bring to a low boil.
● Add the vanilla; stir.
● When the mixture begins to break down and combine well together, add the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Mix well and then add it to the fruit mixture. Stir until the mixture thickens.
● Remove from the heat and let cool to warm.
● Meanwhile, remove the pie dough from the shell and let it come to room temperature. Take it out of the pie tray or unroll it (depending on what type of pie crust you purchased) and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.

● When the mixture has cooled to a warm temp, carefully spoon it all into the center of the pie dough.

● Begin to fold in the sides of the pie dough to cover about half of the filling. You want the center of the filling exposed.

● After folding over all the sides, place the baking pan in the fridge for 10 minutes to cool.
● Preheat oven to 350°.
● After ten minutes, remove the dough galette from the refrigerator.

● Brush the exposed raw dough edges with a beaten egg and small splash of water mixture.
● Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the surface of the egged, raw dough.
● Place in the preheated 350° oven and bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

● Allow the baked strawberry rhubarb galette to cool completely before removing it from the baking pan.

● Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
