A galette is not fussy. This free-form pastry has a rustic appeal. The easy dough is rolled out flat then folded around the filling, and whatever shape transpires, consider it gorgeous. You are supposed to embrace its imperfections. It’s all about the honest taste! Just use fresh fruit for the filling and good butter for the dough and it will bake up into something perfectly imperfect and impressively delicious. With this gluten-free version, you can whip up this dessert for anyone, at any time – no need to wait for special occasions.
