Hazelnut Frangipane Galette

Ingredients

Galette Dough

  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1¾ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1¼ cups (2½ sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Filling And Assembly

  • ¾ cup raw skin-on hazelnuts
  • ⅓ cup plus ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons buckwheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon rye whiskey or vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs 
  • 1½ pounds seasonal fruit (Almost anything will do! Here are just a few examples: apricots, pitted and halved, cherries, pitted, rhubarb, thinly sliced, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • All-purpose flour (for surface)
  • ½ cup demerara sugar
  • 1 tablespoon aniseed

Galette Dough

  • Pulse flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and process until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.

  • Transfer mixture to a large bowl; drizzle ⅓ cup ice water over. Gently mix with your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice, pressing to incorporate any dry bits of flour. Divide dough into 2 pieces and flatten each into about a 1"-thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; chill at least 1 hour.

  • Do Ahead: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled, or freeze 1 month.

Filling And Assembly

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Process hazelnuts and ⅓ cup granulated sugar in a food processor to a fine paste, about 3 minutes. Add butter, buckwheat flour, rye, salt, and 1 egg and pulse until smooth; set frangipane aside.

  • Toss fruit, orange zest and juice, and remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit, tossing occasionally, 10 minutes.

  • Whisk remaining egg in a bowl with 1 tsp. water. Roll out a piece of dough on a lightly floured surface. Spread with about 1 ½ Tbsp. reserved frangipane, leaving a 1" border. Brush border with egg wash. Top frangipane with some rhubarb; fold edges of dough up and over rhubarb, overlapping slightly. Brush dough with egg wash. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets.

  • Sprinkle galettes with demerara sugar and aniseed and bake, rotating once, until crust is golden brown and rhubarb is soft, 30–40 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
