Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour Use a gluten-free all-purpose blend
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed Keep butter cold for a flaky crust
  • 1/4 cup sugar For sweetness in the crust
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor
  • 3 tablespoons cold water Add gradually to form the dough
For the filling
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced Fresh strawberries work best
  • 1 cup rhubarb, chopped Fresh rhubarb, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust sweetness to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch To thicken the filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract To enhance flavor
  • 1 egg for egg wash To achieve a golden finish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until it becomes crumbly.
  4. Gradually add cold water until the dough begins to hold together.
  5. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, mix the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Let this sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Roll out the dough on parchment paper into a rough circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
  2. Spoon the fruit mixture into the center, leaving about a 2-inch border.
  3. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating pleats as you go to contain the fruit within.
  4. Brush the edges with the beaten egg for a pretty, golden finish.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the galette is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
  6. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing; the filling will thicken as it cools.

Notes

Serving suggestions include a dusting of powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
