A galette is essentially a free-form pie — beautifully rustic, forgiving, and unbelievably delicious. No special pan, no blind baking, no complicated lattice work. Just flaky crust, bubbling berries, and golden edges.
This triple berry galette combines sweet strawberries, tart raspberries, and juicy blueberries for a perfectly balanced flavor. It’s the kind of dessert that looks impressive but is secretly simple — ideal for summer gatherings, weekend baking, or a last-minute treat.
What Is a Galette?
A galette is a French pastry that’s flat, round, and casually folded around a filling. Unlike traditional pies, galettes are shaped by hand and baked directly on a sheet pan. The edges are folded over the fruit, creating a rustic, artisanal look.
The beauty of a galette lies in its simplicity — and the flavor speaks for itself.

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3–4 tablespoons ice water
(Shortcut: You can use store-bought pie dough if you’re short on time.)
For the Triple Berry Filling:
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For Finishing:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (optional)
How to Make Easy Triple Berry Galette
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Berry Filling
In a separate bowl, gently toss strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to release natural juices.
Step 3: Roll and Assemble
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon the berry mixture into the center, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the dough edges over the fruit, pleating as you go.
Brush the crust with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Tips for the Perfect Berry Galette
Keep your butter cold. Cold butter creates flaky layers.
Don’t overfill. Too much filling can cause leakage.
Use parchment paper. Makes transferring easy and prevents sticking.
Chill before baking. If your dough feels soft, chill the assembled galette for 10 minutes before baking.
Can I Use Frozen Berries?
Yes! Frozen berries work beautifully in this galette. There’s no need to thaw them first — just increase the cornstarch to 1½ tablespoons to account for extra moisture.

Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
