Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Brown Rice Flour Provides structure in the gluten-free crust; substitute with other gluten-free flours if needed.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Adds tenderness; can use gluten-free all-purpose flour for a fully gluten-free galette.
  • 1 2 Cornstarch Helps achieve a light, flaky texture; no direct substitute, but can reduce overall flour for a firmer crust.
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Sugar Adds sweetness and a mild caramel flavor; may substitute with granulated sugar.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances flavor overall; can use table salt as a substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter Creates a flaky crust; cold butter is essential for texture; use dairy-free butter for a vegan option.
  • 6 tablespoons Ice Water Hydrates the dough while keeping it cold; essential for dough consistency.
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Rhubarb Provides a tart base; fresh is preferred, but frozen can be used after thawing.
  • 1/2 cup Honey Sweetens the filling and adds moisture; maple syrup or agave syrup can be used as substitutes.
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Culinary Lavender Infuses subtle floral notes; omit or replace with vanilla if unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Essence Enhances flavor; using both provides depth; can replace with vanilla extract if necessary.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Brightens the flavors in the filling; can substitute with lime juice.
  • 1 cup Raspberries Provides sweetness; substitute with blackberries or blueberries if preferred.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Ginger Adds warmth to the filling; can be omitted or replaced with cinnamon.
Toppings
  • 2 tablespoons Cubed Butter Placed atop the filling for richness; optional.
  • 1/4 cup Slivered Almonds For texture and decoration; optional.
  • 1 Egg for wash Creates a golden-brown crust; can be replaced with a vegan alternative.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Rolling Pin
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine brown rice flour, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, coconut sugar, and sea salt. Pulse cold, diced butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 20 seconds.
  2. Gradually add ice water, pulsing until the dough just holds together. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  3. While the dough chills, prepare the filling. Cut fresh rhubarb into 1-inch pieces, and in a mixing bowl, gently stir together with honey, dried lavender, vanilla essence, lemon juice, and raspberries. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle, then transfer it carefully to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the fruit filling in the center of the dough, leaving a generous 3-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching and pleating to create a rustic appearance.
  6. Chill the assembled galette in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Brush the edges with egg wash and sprinkle slivered almonds and coarse sparkling sugar on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is a deep golden brown.
  7. Once baked, allow the galette to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
