Have you ever wanted to bake something that looks impressive, but felt intimidated by tricky recipes?
Maybe you’ve avoided making pies because getting the crust just right seems like a ton of pressure.
If that sounds familiar, you are going to LOVE the galette.
Think of it as a pie’s super chill, free-form cousin. It’s a rustic tart where being a little messy is the whole point. In fact, “perfectly imperfect” is the goal!
You just roll out some dough, pile your favorite fillings in the center, and casually fold over the edges. That’s IT. No special pie dish needed.
They work with sweet fruits, savory veggies, and pretty much anything in between. They are SO simple to make but always look beautiful in a totally effortless way.
