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.
Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until you have coarse crumbs.
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.
Your dough should look similar to this.
Remove the dough from the bowl and form into a ball or disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

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