        The Best Recipe for Galette - 4 fruits galette

        Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

        This is the best recipe for galette. Soft crispy pastry, filled with juicy fresh berries and sweet Jam. 

        It's the perfect dessert to enjoy all year round and it's super customisable with any fruit flavor you'd prefer. 

        This fruit galette is extremely easy to put together unlike a pie, there isn't any of that long tireless rolling, cutting and shaping, this galette is super easy to make. 

        recipe for galette

        In this french galette recipe I will be going through how to make this jam jar dessert and answering your FAQs such as ‘is galette vegetarian’ ‘can a galette be made with self-raising flour’ ‘what’s a galette’ and so much more.

        A really great thing about this jam tart recipe is that it's vegan and gluten free! The water and dairy free butter are the egg substitute which allows the dough to bind together. 

        Another great thing about this jam tart easy recipe is how customisable you can make it. For example, you can make these for any season using seasonal fruits.

        I’ll also be sharing some more flavor variations and mix in’s below. And would highly recommend you check that part of this post out!

        This jam pastry recipe requires less than 30 mins to come together from start to finish!

        So how do you make this … galette dessert

        To summarize this galette is made in 5 simple steps. First is the pastry - mix all the ingredients in a bowl and roll it out into a disk shape. Next spread the jam  onto the pastry and top with berries. Then simply fold the pastry over. Finally brush with egg or milk, to make it golden then all that's left to do is slice and enjoy with a scoop of ice-cream!

        For a more detailed step by step method check out the full written recipe below.

        recipe for galette

        Ingredients for a galette :

        Pastry for jam tart - jam tart ingredients
        • Vegan butter - You can use either vegan block butter or margarine for the pastry. 
        • Plant-based milk - This can be oat, soya or almond milk
        • Sugar - Caster or refined granulated sugar works best here.
        • Plain flour - If you're not following a gluten free diet you may use normal plain flour instead
        The Filling - jam filled pastry

        Jam - For this galette I used St Dalfour's Summer fruit galette which is made primarily of berries and is perfectly sweet. But you can also use any other mixed berry jam. 

        Berries - These can be fresh or frozen. If however, you are using frozen berries make sure to coat it lightly in a tablespoon of cornflour- as frozen berries have a higher water concentration and therefore, the berry juice tends to leak out of the pastry. So the cornflour works to try and trap the water and reduce the leakage.

        Glaze - Lightly brush on some plant based milk on top of the pastry, this will allow the pastry to brown in the oven and have a beautiful gold color.

        Vanilla ice cream - this is optional but its a great addition to the galette. Of course if you're making your galette vegan use vegan ice-cream!

        Expert Baking Tips - vegan galette recipe

        • Roll the pastry between a sheet of greaseproof paper and a sheet of cling film to prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter top and so you can easily transfer the pastry to a baking tray. 
        • Fold the pastry over most of the berries to prevent leakage.
        • Allow the pastry to cool completely once baked so the filling can set before slicing.

        Flavour variations

        Blackberry gallette

        This would be sensational. Simply substitute the jam for blackberry compote or even a blueberry lemon galette using blueberry jam - check out my foolproof recipe here and top with fresh berries, and follow the same method as you would for this mixed berry galette.

        Galette Peach

        Like a peach cobbler just substitute the apple for peaches! The peaches would be perfectly soft and lightly sweetened making it the perfect dessert to enjoy on a cold night.
