What is a Galette?
Galettes are like a fancy hybrid between a pizza and a pie. When I describe it to people I say that it is essentially an open-faced pie, or similar to a tart. However, it is much easier to make than a pie because you simply take a single {pie} crust, fill it in the middle, and fold over the edges. There is no need for any intricate pie dish, pan, or any complicated equipment.
In this post, I share the keys to making the best gluten-free galette dough that can be used as a base for all your galette creations: How To Make Gluten-Free Galette Dough.
Galettes are perfect for dessert. You can add whatever fruit filling you’d like and make a beautiful galette, like my Strawberry Peach Galette (Vegan and Gluten-Free). I make this showstopper when I am hosting a dinner party. It’s easy to make, super delicious, and always impresses guests!
This time, I wanted to make a savory galette for dinner using mushrooms, caramelized onions, and a bit of cheese. It’s absolutely fantastic! This mushroom galette is filled with rich rustic flavors encased in a buttery crispy crust and topped with fresh burrata! MM! So Good!
How to Make a Galette
If you know how to make a pie crust, then you’re fully equipped to make a galette. If you do not know how to make a pie crust, do not fret, I will show you how! I will even show you a quick hack to making a galette that’ll make it super easy and save you a ton of time!
To Make The Galette Crust:
Add cold butter to sifted flour. Using a fork or pastry cutter, break the butter into the flour to form the dough, slowly adding water, as needed.
Once the dough is formed, shape it into a round disc/ball. Then, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using.
Roll the chilled dough into a circle and add your prepared caramelized onions and mushrooms in the middle, leaving a 1-inch border along the sides.
Fold the edges over carefully, and then transfer your gorgeous mushroom galette into the oven!
Here’s a great hack to make preparing your galette even easier!
I’ve made this recipe many times! Most time I make the crust from scratch, but occasionally I skip that step and use a premade crust. I like Wholly Wholesome Gluten-Free Pie Crust. It’s wheat-free, dairy-free, casein-free, egg-free, soy-free, tree nut-free, peanut-free, and sesame-free!
If you are using a premade crust, allow it to come to room temperature and remove it from the lining. You should be able to manipulate the dough. Form it into a ball and then roll the dough into a circle. It is now ready to use to make a galette!
What You’ll Need to Make This Mushroom Galette Recipe
The Galette Crust:
- Butter: Can use Vegan Butter to make this galette dairy-free
- Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour: I Like to use Bob’s Red Mills 1:1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour. You can always sub and use regular flour, like this one.
- Sea Salt, Baking Powder, and Water
To Make The Mushroom Filling:
- Mushrooms: Use a variety. I like to use oyster, crimini, and shiitake mushrooms.
- Onion: The onions will be caramelized and create the perfect rich, sweet flavor.
- Garlic Cloves: Because, of course!
- Broth: You can use beef broth for added flavor, or vegetable broth.
- Parmesan Cheese: You can omit the parmesan cheese if you want to make this galette vegan.
Toppings for the Mushroom Galette:
- Burrata and Lemon Zest: You can enjoy the Galette as is, or you can take it up a notch by adding these toppings!
How to Make the Mushroom Filling
- Sauté the mushrooms until soft and golden
- Add the onions and sauté until golden brown
- Mix in the herbs and seasonings
- Add the broth and parmesan cheese (omit the cheese if making a vegan mushroom galette)
- Mix ingredients until well combined and sauté for 1-2 minutes
- Transfer the mixture into the galette dough

Easy Mushroom Galette Recipe
Ingredients
Gluten-Free Crust
- 8 tablespoons Butter (can sub Vegan Butter)
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour that contains xanthan gum (like Bob's Red Mills 1:1) (250 grams)
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1/4 cup Water plus more if needed to make sure dough is formed (add 1 tbsp at a time)
Mushroom Filling
- 2 tablespoon Butter (can sub vegan butter) divided
- 1.5 lb Mixed Mushrooms, sliced (oyster, crimini, shiitake)
- 1/2 Onion, sliced
- 4 Large Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup Broth (beef or vegetable)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (omit if vegan)
- 2 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 Egg, for egg wash (optional)
Mushroom Galette Toppings
- 4 oz Fresh Burrata
- 1 Lemon, zested for garnish
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
Making the Galette Crust
- In a large bowl, sift the flour and salt. Cut cold butter into cubes and add to the flour. Using a fork or spoon, break the butter into the flour. Make a small pit in the center of the flour and slowly incorporate water. Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time or more, if needed, to make sure the dough comes together with no dry spots.
- Coat your hands in flour and begin to form the dough into a round disc. Then, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and begin to roll out the dough into a rectangle or circle until it is about 1/4 in thick. (If the dough is too crumbly, do not be scared to add more water.)
- Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment lined baking sheet. Set aside
Mushroom Filling
- (Prepare the mushroom filling while the dough is chilling)In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced mushrooms and 1 tbsp butter. Saute the mushrooms for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Mix in the thyme, seasonings, minced garlic, onions, and remaining butter. Saute for 4-6 additional minutes.
- Add the broth and the cheese. Mix until cheese is incorporated and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
Making the Mushroom Galette
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Take the rolled dough and spread the mushroom filling in the center, leaving a 1 inch border along the outside of the dough.
- Carefully fold the edges of the crust over the edges of the mushroom filling, pleating if needed. Brush the dough with an egg wash.
- Transfer the galette into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then top with fresh burrata and lemon zest, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- The best Gluten-Free Flour to use is Bob’s Red Mills 1:1 All-Purpose Flour
- I have tested this recipe with King Arthur Measure for Measure GF and Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend. That doesn’t mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours. If your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
- Make sure to properly measure your flour for the best results. Do not scoop the measuring cup into the flour, instead use a spoon to fill the measuring cup with flour and scrape any excess off the top.
- You can use regular flour for gluten-free flour if desired.

Help! I may be missing it, but I can’t see where it says how much baking powder to use in the list of ingredients. Planning to make this for Christmas!
Hi Karin! The baking powder is actually not needed. Please excuse the typo. I also have a post on making the galette crust if that helps https://goodfoodbaddie.com/gluten-free-galette-dough-recipe-how-to-video/
I hope you enjoy the galette. Happy holidays!
The ingredient list says baking powder and the recipe says baking soda, which one is it?
Thank you for letting me know. It should read baking powder in the post.
