Gluten-Free Blueberry Galette Recipe
As I’ve mentioned before, galettes are my favorite gluten-free dessert to bake because they’re accepted as rustic and not perfect. In other words, no perfect crust-making skills required! Gluten-free baking doesn’t have to be complicated, and starting with a gluten-free galette is definitely my recommendation for dipping your toes into gluten-free baking.
There are so many recipes you can make with fresh blueberries – from brunch recipes like Blueberry French Toast Bake to fun desserts like Lemon Blueberry Marscapone Hand Pies, fresh blueberries are always a hit. They’re an easy fruit to bake with and bring a fresh, juiciness to any dessert – no dried out fruits here! This gluten-free blueberry galette is another blueberry dessert to add to your fresh blueberry baking rotation.
Ingredients needed for a gluten-free blueberry galette
- 1 3/4 cup gluten-free 1 to 1 baking flour
- 7 Tbsp. sugar – divided
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 Tbsp. arrowroot starch

How to make a gluten-free blueberry galette
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Prepare the gluten-free galette dough. (For a full step-by-step tutorial with photos – check out my gluten-free galette dough recipe)
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, and salt and stir to combine. Cut the 1/2 cup unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until you have coarse crumbs.
- Add the cold water to the mix and using a fork, stir until the dough comes together. You want the dough to come together but not be too wet or too dry. If it’s too dry, add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time. If needed, use your hand to gently fold the dough until it comes together completely.
- Press the dough into the shape of a disc and wrap in plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- While the dough is chilling, add the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice, and arrowroot starch to a large bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Once the dough has chilled, lightly flour a sheet of parchment paper and place the dough onto the floured surface. Then, roll the dough out into a large 12-14 inch circle. The rolled dough circle should be about 1/8 inch thick. If it’s too thick your crust will be chewy. Aim for about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Transfer the blueberry filling into the center of the rolled dough.
- Gently fold up the sides of the galette, working your way around the edges. If the sides crack, simply pinch them together.
- Whisk one egg white and brush onto the edges of the crust. Sprinkle sugar or decorating sugar onto the crust. Then, transfer the parchment paper to a baking sheet – cutting off any parchment paper that may hang over the edges.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

A crostata and galette are essentially the same, except a crostata
A galette is very similar to a pie in that it has a crust and a filling. However, pies tend to have more structure where galettes can be more free-form and rustic.
At room temperature, a galette will keep for up to three days. If refrigerated and covered, it will last up to a week.
