Strawberry Rhubarb Galette
I’m fighting against the seasonal clock to make as many rhubarb infested treats as possible. The window is short. Too short. I nearly broke out in sweat on a cool 70° morning at the farmer’s market this week. Was I late? Where’s all the rhubarb? Oh, it was there alright. At the very last stand.
Right across from the flowers I snatched up to keep our last couple of weeks in Oak Park, in what should be our box-filled condo, pretty. I guess you could say we haven’t started packing yet.
There’s too many people to see, projects to finish, and galettes to bake. Case in point. This little gem is semi-healthy. I prefer galettes to be rustic and wheaty. So I’ve snuck in some oat and wheat flour without compromising that delicate flakiness we all love. Just beyond the crust sits tart rhubarb and sweet strawberry and orange. They come together to make a beautiful marriage. Complimenting each other every bite of the way. Oh, and some homemade ice cream on top. Why not? Makes perfect sense to me.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Whisk together flours, sugar, and salt. If you don’t have oat flour on hand, finely grind rolled oats in food processor.
- Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour until it is edamame-sized. (You may be tempted to cut the butter into smaller pieces, however, as you add the water and continue to work the dough, the size of the butter will decrease.)
- Add in the cold water. Use a pastry fork and work dough until it comes together. Gently knead with hands to incorporate any loose pieces. Do not overwork dough.
- Shape dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or Silpat; set aside.
- In a bowl, add rhubarb, strawberry, orange juice, sugar, flour, and nutmeg. Stir and set aside.
- Meanwhile, divide dough into 4 equal pieces. On a well floured surface, roll each out into a circle, about 1/8-inch thick.
- Add rhubarb mixture into the center of dough, leaving about a 2 1/2-inch border all the way around. Fold dough around the fruit mixture, pressing gently to adhere the folds. Brush edges of dough with egg, and sprinkle with turbinado. Transfer to freezer for 10 minutes.
- Bake until crust is golden brown and juices are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Duh.
Notes
• I make this crust the same way I make my normal pie crusts. For a how-to video click here.
That’s always how I feel about strawberries and cherries. Not nearly enough time! This looks wonderful.
This looks so beautiful, that strawberry rhubarb combination is just the best especially when it’s tucked away in a delicious crust!
Looks amazing and yes – the window is closing! They do come and go too quickly don’t they?!
Ugh I know–the rhubarb season is way too short! This recipe looks awesome, I love the look of a galette too.
I’ll have to try it if I can get my hands on any more rhubarb this week!
Your galette is so pretty, I love rustic fruit desserts that are topped with vanilla ice cream
This looks so tasty! Love it!
Your pictures are amazing!
LOL, I’m late…so very late on the rhubarb. Haven’t even picked up a single stalk. Why oh why? So I stare and drool over your strawberry rhubarb galette recipe…there’s always next rhubarb season
That is a stunning galette. Our rhubarb is just getting there for picking. Ours comes later in the mountains. I will bookmark this recipe for when I do some harvesting.
I must have strawberries with my rhubarb and these galettes are a most scrumptious spring dessert!
I made cinnamon and rhubarb ice cream recently (even though its winter here) HOW GOOD IS RHUBARB! Love this long time.

Lovely, Melissa! I’ve been experimenting with whole wheat pie crusts, mostly so I can feel less guilty for eating pie all summer, ha. I wish rhubarb hung around a bit longer, too.
I love a galette, this is so pretty and strawberry with rhubarb is perfect! New to your blog but happy to be here

Great galettes. I agree, the rhubarb season is way too short. Which is a terrific reason to make and eat rhubarb treats!
This is my ideal dessert in every way. Gorgeous gorgeous.
I can totally relate. The farmers’ market closest to my house no longer had any, so I rushed to another and thankfully found some rhubarb.
I have not worked with rhubarb before but this inspires me.
I love how you incorporated oat and whole wheat flour. These guys look delicious!
Yum!
Great images (the designer will out!) and tasty looking dishes.
Looks sooo good! Can’t wait to try it!
Looks delicious!!
I love rhubarb too..Just too small a window to feast on enough rhubarb desserts! These rustic strawberry rhubarb galettes look too fabulous!
