What you need to make this easy mixed berry galette + substitutions:

  • All-purpose flour– I typically bake with all-purpose flour. Almond and coconut flour do not have the same measurements so they will not work in this recipe. However, gluten-free 1:1 all-purpose flour should work just fine. Make sure to find one with xantham gum, I love Bob’s Red Mill, but any should do for this mixed berry galette.
  • Granulated Sugar– Sugar adds sweetness to both the crust and filling adding a caramelized finish. Other options are white sugar, cane sugar, or whatever you prefer. I haven’t tested coconut sugar.
  • Sea salt– We use Redmond sea salt, it’s our favorite and we use it in everything! You can use the code daddioskitchen for 15% off. We get the big big bag!
  • Unsalted butter– The butter creates a rich, flaky crust by layering pockets of fat within the dough, resulting in a tender and crisp texture. You can use salted as well, but I always go for unsalted in baking. If you use salted, you can still keep the salt ratio the same for this easy mixed berry galette.
  • Ice water– Ice water helps bring the dough together while keeping the butter cold, ensuring a flaky and tender crust.
  • Mixed berries– Mixed berries provide a juicy, sweet-tart filling that bursts with fresh, vibrant flavor. You can use fresh or frozen.
  • Lemon zest– The lemon really brings out the brightness of the fruit and it’s delicious. But the zest is key, that’s what really elevates the flavor in my opinion.
  • Egg– Use a beaten egg for the egg wash.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp ice water

For the Filling:

  • 12 oz mixed berries fresh or frozen
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

For Topping:

  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1-2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

To Make the Crust:

  • In a food processor, add butter, flour, sugar and sea salt. Pulse until you get a crumbly consistency.
  • Add in about ⅓ cup ice cold water and let it blend. Then if needed, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until the dough forms into a ball. Be careful not to add too much, let it have time to form.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for 30 min to 24 hours.

To Make the Galette:

  • Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
  • In medium mixing bowl, add all the filling ingredients. Mix until combined.
  • Lay down a piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle with flour. Roll out the pie crust into a rough circle on the parchment. Transfer the crust onto a baking sheet leaving it on the parchment paper so it doesn't stick.
  • Spoon the berry mixture onto the center of the pie crust, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
  • Fold the edges of the crust over the berries, pleating as you go, to create a rustic galette crust.
  • Brush the crust with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish. Add small cubes of butter on top of the fruit. Sprinkle with granulated sugar over the whole thing.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 min, or until the crust is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
  • Top with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes to crisp up the crust.
