Raspberry Almond Galette

A rustic raspberry galette with a crisp, buttery crust and a thin layer of almond underneath to catch the berry juices. A little messy around the edges is exactly the point.

Method

01
Make and chill the dough

Make and chill the dough

1) Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. 2) Cut in the cold butter until the mixture contains pea-sized pieces. 3) Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough holds together. 4) Shape into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

02
Fill and fold

Fill and fold

1) Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. 2) Gently toss the raspberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. 3) Roll the chilled dough into roughly a 12-inch circle and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. 4) Sprinkle the almond flour over the center, leaving a 2-inch border, then spoon the raspberry mixture over the almond layer. 5) Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating naturally as you go. 6) Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sliced almonds and coarse sugar if using.

03
Bake and cool

Bake and cool

1) Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the crust is deeply golden and the berry juices are bubbling. 2) Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Tips

NoteThe almond flour isn't just there for flavor. It catches some of the raspberry juice and helps keep the bottom crust crisp.

Frequently asked

Can I use frozen raspberries?+

Yes. Use them frozen rather than thawing first, and expect the galette to release a little more juice.

Why did the filling leak?+

A little leakage is normal with a rustic galette. Make sure the dough has no large cracks and leave enough border to fold securely around the fruit.
