Rhubarb Galletes with Hazelnut Frangipane


Last year I searched high and low for Rhubarb.  This recipe came out in the May issue
of Bon Appetit, and I really wanted to try it, but there was no rhubarb to be found in the stores.
I prepared instead Plum Galletes as seen in the post of 6/16/15.

I have waited 10 months for Rhubarb to be back in season, and I am so happy to have been able to test this recipe.  They are delicious!  


As Always, 
ENJOY!

Ingredients

SERVINGS: MAKES 8

Galette Dough

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

Filling And Assembly

  • ¾ cup raw skin-on hazelnuts
  •  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
  •  pounds rhubarb, halved lengthwise, cut into 2½-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • All-purpose flour (for surface)
  • ½ cup demerara sugar
  • 1 tablespoon aniseed

Preparation

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 rhubarb, 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. Divide each disk of dough into 4 pieces. Roll out a piece of dough on a lightly floured surface to make a 5" round. 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. Repeat process to make 7 more galettes. 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.
    • Do Ahead: Galettes can be baked 3 days ahead; store tightly wrapped at room temperature.
