    “If a crusty cake and pie had a baby, it'd be our favorite freeform dough creation: the galette.” -Bon Appétit Magazine

    Greetings 👋

    Today I’m going to show you how to make a low carb version of a fruit-filled French pastry called a galette.  It’s basically a low carb strawberry pie that you bake on a cookie sheet instead of a pie pan.

    What kind of keto pastry dough? 💬

    Not Fathead dough, I can promise you that.  Cheese dough has its place in low carb baking, but not in this Keto pastry.  Not today, my friends, not today.  No, I used a great Keto pastry dough from the gnom-gnom blog.  

    This dough is low carb and gluten-free and has a wonderful flaky texture.  It’s a versatile crust that you can use to make fruit pies, savory pies, and even meat pies. And each serving has just 2g net carbs.

    Ingredients 🍓

    Strawberry Filling:

    • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
    • 3 tablespoons Swerve Granular
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

    Crust:

    • 1 cup almond flour
    • 5 tablespoons coconut flour
    • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum, optional
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup cold butter
    • 2 oz cold cream cheese
    • 2 large beaten eggs, divided
    • 2 teaspoons vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons Swerve Confectioners
    ingredients of a strawberry galette

    Instructions 🧾

    1. Add strawberries to a small bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons sweetener on top.  Add vanilla.  Mix to coat.  Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator to macerate until ready to use. Give the strawberries a stir every 10 minutes.
    2. Add almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender.  Pulse several times to mix.
    3. Add butter and cream cheese and pulse several times.
    4. Add 1 egg and vinegar and pulse several times until the dough is broken into crumbs.  Do not process so much that the dough is smooth and combined like cookie dough.  You still want to see spots of butter.  
    5. Remove from the food processor or blender and form the dough into a ball.
    6. Wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.  
    7. Place the dough on a large sheet of parchment paper.  Put another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough.  It should make an approximately 12 x 10-inch oval.   
    8. Strain liquid from strawberries.
    9. Arrange the strawberries in one layer in the middle of the rolled-out dough.  You should have an outer edge of 1 ½ - 2 inches of dough.
    10. Use the bottom piece of parchment paper to gently fold the dough over the strawberries.
    11. Brush the remaining lightly beaten egg onto the crust.
    12. Sprinkle the granulated sweetener on top of fruit and crust.
    13. Carefully move the pastry and bottom sheet of parchment paper to a cookie sheet.  Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to freeze for 10 minutes.
    14. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    15. Bake for 25-30 minutes until crust is browned.  At minute 15, take the pastry out of the oven and brush again with the egg wash.  Start checking in on the pastry at minute 20, because it can go from browned to burnt very quickly.
    16. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes on the cookie sheet.  Use a sieve to dust the pastry with powdered sweetener.
    17. Serve warm.    

    How long does it take? ⏲️

    I’m not going to lie, it’ll take a good chunk of time to make this recipe.  That's because you’ll need to make the dough, chill it for an hour, roll the dough out, fill it with strawberries and freeze the pastry for another 10 minutes before you bake it.  So you are looking at 90 minutes total.

    But it’s worth the effort. 👩‍🍳

    Let’s say you start the recipe in the late afternoon.  You’ll have a delicious strawberry galette in time for dinner.  And as I mentioned, it’s quite the low carb dessert.  It’s a fruity, flaky strawberry pastry with just 256 calories and 5g net carbs per slice. This recipe is solid gold, I tell you!  

    Pure low carb gold.

    Notes

    *If you take this pastry to a party, make sure to clearly mark that it contains nuts.  Most people don’t expect a pastry to use almond flour, so people with nut allergies might inadvertently eat it.

      This was great. I would just add a bit of sweetener to the dough if I made again.

        No, this particular recipe really needs almond flour to work. You could think about refashioning the recipe with Fathead dough though. This is a low carb dough that's made from cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, eggs and either almond or coconut flour. Here's a recipe for the dough that uses coconut flour instead of almond flour: https://mylifecookbook.com/fathead-fruit-pizza-low-carb-gluten-free/ Good luck!

    I'm Emily, the diabetic behind Resolution Eats. Many years ago, I made a New Year's resolution to switch to a low carb diet. It improved both my health and my outlook on life. Since then, I've come up with hundreds of Keto recipes for everything from soup to nuts. And this blog is a way for me to share the low carb love. Cheers!
