What is a galette?

A galette is a type of rustic, free-form tart originating from France. It’s characterized by a flat, round pastry crust that’s folded up around the edges to contain a filling, often sweet or savory. Galettes are known for their simple preparation and casual appearance, making them a popular choice for home cooks and bakers.

Tips for the best dairy-free galette crust/dough:

Don’t overwork the dough: Mix the dough until just combined to avoid toughness.
Use a light touch: When rolling out the dough, handle it gently to prevent it from becoming tough.
Roll out evenly: Aim for a consistent thickness when rolling out the dough to ensure even baking.
Leave a border: Leave a border of about 1-2 inches around the edges of the dough to fold over the filling.
Use parchment paper: Place the rolled-out dough on parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to transfer to a baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash: Before baking, brush the edges of the galette with egg wash to help them brown and develop a shiny finish.
Add a sprinkle of breadcrumbs: For sweet galettes, you can also sprinkle the crust with sugar before baking to add sweetness and texture.

Add beaten egg and mix well.

Grease the pan with some oil. Sprinkle it with breadcrumbs. Put the dough in the pan. Add the filling. Pull the margins of the dough over the filling.
