Galette Crust Recipe | Made with Almond flour and All-Purpose flour

Difficulty Easy

Galette Crust Recipe: A galette is a free-form half pie and half tart. The crust is made similar to a pie crust. But it shaped by hand, no rolling pin is needed.

This easy galette recipe is made with some almond flour to give a nice flavor and texture. When it is baking, the fat from the almond flour will make the crust golden deliciously!

Just like pies, it can be made sweet or savory. Want to make a pie crust instead? Make an All Butter Pie crust, made 100% all purpose flour.

Savory Galette: Crust was brushed with egg wash before baking
