Rhubarb Galette

Ingredients and Weight:

• 1 pound fresh rhubarb, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup ice water

Preparation Time:

15 minutes

Cooking Time:

40-45 minutes

Difficulty Level:

3 (Moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
2. In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, egg, flour, and salt.
4. In a large bowl, add cold butter and flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
6. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
8. Spread the rhubarb filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
9. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling.
10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the galette is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
