A galette is essentially a freeform pie, so if you're not an expert baker, this recipe is for you. Tart and sweet, rhubarb and strawberries top nutty and delicious almond paste—a match made in heaven! I like to double-stack refrigerated pie dough to prevent the filling from leaking out the sides.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Stack the two discs of dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a disc about 12 inches wide. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Set aside.
  3. Toss together the rhubarb, strawberries, cornstarch and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside. Roll out the almond paste into a 10-inch circle.
  4. Place the almond paste on the dough. Top evenly with the strawberry-rhubarb filling, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the dough edges toward the center of the galette, up and over the edges of the filling, overlapping as needed.
  5. Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush on the edges of the galette and sprinkle with the almonds and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  6. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the edges are nicely browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving with whipped cream or ice cream.
