Gluten-Free Galette des Rois Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of gluten-free flour
• 1/2 cup of almond flour
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of almond extract
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of milk (or non-dairy milk)
• 1 egg yolk

Instructions:

1. Mix the gluten-free flour, almond flour, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
2. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
3. Add in the eggs, almond extract, and milk, and mix well until the dough comes together.
4. Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Roll out one of the dough halves into a circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
7. In a small bowl, beat the egg yolk with a tablespoon of milk. Brush the edges of the dough circle with the egg wash.
8. Place the almond filling (recipe below) in the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) around the edges.
9. Roll out the second half of the dough into a circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Place it on top of the almond filling and press the edges to seal.
10. Brush the top with the egg wash and use a sharp knife to make a design on top of the galette.
