Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Filling
  • 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • rolling pin
  • baking sheet
  • knife

Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt in a large bowl, then cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together, then form it into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, gently toss the chopped rhubarb with granulated sugar and set aside to macerate.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a roughly 12-inch circle.
  2. Arrange the rhubarb mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border, then fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a rustic crust.
  3. Transfer the galette to a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
