    ❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

    • This gluten-free Strawberry Rhubarb Galette is a perfect dessert to satisfy your pie cravings when you don't want to fuss with pastry. In fact, the more rustic it looks, the better!
    • A galette is a French pastry, made with a single free-form crust. It's meant to look rustic. Galettes can be savory, like this Potato Galette with Bacon and Cheese and this Gluten-free Spinach Artichoke Galette, or they can be sweet, like this Blueberry Lemon Ginger Galette, or today's strawberry-rhubarb recipe.
    • A fruit galette is a casual dessert with a crisp crust and a sweet filling. If you're an amateur baker, this recipe is for you. This strawberry-rhubarb galette tastes like you've been working on it in the kitchen all day, and yet it's quick to assemble and pop in the oven.
    • It's very difficult to mess up this dessert! So let's get started a make this gluten-free strawberry rhubarb galette today.

    🔪 Ingredients

    For the pastry: the dough needs chilling time, so make it a few hours ahead of time or even the night before. It will last in the fridge for 3-4 days. You'll need almond flour, tapioca flour, salt, cold butter, an egg and a teaspoon of honey.

    For the filling:

    • strawberries: fresh. You'll be slicing these and you'll need about 2 ½ cups.
    • rhubarb: fresh, or frozen and very well-drained. Press out excess moisture with a cloth or paper towel.
    • sweetener: granulated sugar or 0-calorie sweetener like Lacanto Monkfruit
    • cornstarch: for thickening the filling
    • orange: orange zest and a little freshly squeezed orange juice adds a little flavour
    • vanilla: pure vanilla extract
    • egg wash: just whisk an egg with a little water to make an egg wash to brush on the crust before baking
    This gluten-free Strawberry Rhubarb Galette is the most delicious rustic fruit pie you can imagine! A crisp free-form crust filled with sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb makes a casual dessert for any time of the year.

    🛒 How to make a gluten-free galette with almond flour

    Here's a quick overview of what you'll do. Check the detailed ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.

    1. Begin by making the pastry. It need chilling time, so you'll need to make it about four hours in advance, or even the day before. It will last for 3 - 4 days in the refrigerator.
    2. When you're ready to make your galette, remove the chilled dough from the fridge and let it sit on the counter while you make the filling. Slice strawberries, chop rhubarb, toss with sweetener, orange zest and juice, vanilla and cornstarch.
    3. Next you'll roll out the dough. Gluten-free pastry tends to be a little sticky. This recipe, however, is my new favourite! Using a combination of almond flour and tapioca flour made it relatively easy to work with.
    4. Parchment paper will be your best friend in this recipe. Use it to roll out the pastry, then later to help fold over the edges of the galette to enclose the filling.
    5. Transfer the pastry round together with the parchment paper underneath it to a baking sheet.
    6. Mound the filling in the center of the pastry round, leaving a 2-inch border all around. Then gently (with the help of the parchment paper underneath, fold the pastry over the filling, overlapping it and creating pleats as you work.
    7. If the pastry tears, it's easily repaired. Pinch it back together with your fingers, or return the pie to the fridge for a few minutes to chill it again.
    8. Brush with egg wash, then bake until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

    Remember, this is not a perfect strawberry-rhubarb pie: it's a rustic, casual French galette! It will taste every bit as delicious when it comes out of the oven with a crisp golden crust and a sweet strawberry filling.

    How to safely store a galette

    Once completely cooked, store any leftover galette covered in the refrigerator. Gently reheat it in the oven at 375°F. for about 10 minutes to warm it up slightly before serving.

    Equipment

    baking sheet
    parchment paper

    Ingredients

    Gluten-Free Pastry

    • 1 cup almond flour, finely ground
    • 1 cup tapioca flour
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup butter, chilled
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon honey

    Egg Wash for Pastry

    • 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar or granulated sugar (optional)

    Strawberry Rhubarb Filling

    • 2 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
    • 1 cup rhubarb, fresh or frozen (thawed and drained) chopped
    • 1 teaspoon orange zest
    • 1 tablespoon orange juice, freshly squeezed
    • ⅓ cup sugar, or 0-calorie sweetener. Increase to ½ cup if you like a sweeter dessert.
    • 2 tablespoon cornstarch

    Instructions

    Gluten-Free Pastry

    • Combine almond flour, tapioca flour, salt and cubed butter in a food processor. Pulse until butter is in pea-sized pieces.
    • Add egg and honey and continue to pulse until dough comes together. Don't overprocess.
    • Turn dough out on to a piece of plastic wrap. Form into a disc 6 - 8 inches in diameter, wrap tightly and and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

    Strawberry Rhubarb Filling

    • Slice strawberries, chop rhubarb, toss with sweetener, orange zest and juice, vanilla and cornstarch.

    Assembly

    • When ready to bake, remove pastry dough from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Roll out dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Top with another sheet, if necessary, or a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll the dough into a round about 12 inches in diameter, working quickly. If the dough begins to tear or becomes a little sticky, return it to the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes.
    • Carefully slide pastry and the bottom layer of parchment paper together on to a baking sheet.
    • Mound the strawberry rhubarb filling into the center of the pastry round, leaving a 2 inch border. Using the parchment paper for support, fold the border up over the fruit, making (rough) pleats as you work around the circle. If it tears, pinch it back together with your fingers.
    • Make an egg wash by whisking the egg and water together. Brush on the pastry crust and sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
    • Bake at 350°F. for 30 - 35 minutes until the crust is a deep golden-brown and the fruit is bubbling.
    • Remove from oven, let stand for a 5 to 10 minutes, then carefully slide the parchment with the galette on it to a rack or serving dish to cool completely. Slice and serve. Delicious on its own or with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream!

    Notes

    You can make the pastry 3 - 4 days ahead of time. Store it tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
    If you find the pastry tears, put it back into the refrigerator for a few minutes to chill.
    It's okay if some of the fruit juices leak onto the baking sheet. It will still taste delicious!
    A galette is best eaten the day it is baked. Store leftovers, loosely covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days.

      Lovely gluten free pastry! It was really easy to make and turned out great. I haven't had that "real pastry" flavour and texture in long time. This did the trick! I also made an apple one with apricot jam glaze on top. So many possibilities with this one - yum!

        Thanks for letting me know! I love this pastry, too and have been using it to make galettes and pies lately. Apple with apricot glaze sounds amazing.
