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.

Servings 6 people
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
- ⅓ 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.
