Gluten-free baking doesn’t have to be hard – which is why I wanted to share this step-by-step gluten-free galette dough recipe. This is the dough I use with all of my gluten-free galette recipes. I’ll walk you through the entire process for making your own gluten-free galette dough right at home, with no complicated ingredients or steps.

I’ll also share one of my favorite 1 to 1 baking flours that I find makes gluten-free baking a breeze. Having a simple 1 to 1 swap when baking makes the entire gluten-free baking process a breeze!

Gluten-free Galette Dough Recipe

One of the most daunting tasks associated with gluten-free living is gluten-free baking – however, I’m here to show you it doesn’t have to be hard or complicated. There are so many great 1 to 1 flour mixes now available that gluten-free baking can essentially be a breeze.

And the perfect gluten-free baked dessert to start with is a gluten-free galette! Why? Because galettes get to be rustic and not perfect – so if creating that perfect pie crust is overwhelming – a galette is here to the rescue.

Ingredients needed

  • 1 3/4 cup 1 to 1 gluten-free baking flour
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter – cold
  • 1/2 cup cold water

How to make gluten-free galette dough

Add the flour, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Then cut the cold butter into small chunks and add to the bowl.

Sometimes I can’t quite get the mixture as coarse as I’d like so I will use my hands and gently finish the cutting in of the butter – just don’t overwork the flour mixture. The mixture should look similar to this.

Add in the cold water to the flour mixture and begin to mix with a fork. Add in additional cold water as needed, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until the dough comes together well.

Gluten-free Galette FAQs

Can I make a gluten-free galette dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can refrigerate the gluten-free galette dough for up to 3 days. You will want to ensure it’s wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or something equivalent, and also let warm up a bit at room temperature before rolling out.

What is the difference between a galette and a crostata?

A galette and crostata are essentially one and the same (one from France, one from Italy). They are both free-form, rustic desserts made with rough-edged dough that is folded up around the filling.

Can I freeze gluten-free galette dough?

The tightly wrapped dough can be frozen for 2-3 weeks. You’ll want to let it thaw at room temperature before rolling.
