Learn how to make this delicious sourdough raspberry galette that is the perfect Valentines day dessert to enjoy with your loved one, or even just yourself! This sourdough raspberry galette is an easy dessert that has the benefits of sourdough but the sweetness of a fruit dessert. It is the perfect tart treat for your Valentine.
Valentines Day has always been a day my husband loves. Ever since we started dating, he took Valentines day very seriously and would bless me with so many wonderful goodies on this day.
In 2017, I came over to his home and he made chocolate covered strawberries all on his own for me. The chocolate was chocolate chips so it didn’t mold, but it was the sweetest thing that let me know he was the one. Besides, a way to the heart is through the stomach right?
I digress.
One of my husbands favorite foods is raspberries. Anytime we go out to eat or go to a bakery, you can bet he is buying something that has raspberries in it. He even tried to attempt making raspberry beer at one point.
This Valentines Day I wanted to make him a Valentines Day dessert that contained raspberries just for him. Although my husband loves desserts, he is not a huge sweets person. Therefore, I wanted to make something for him that he would truly enjoy. Of course, I had to add sourdough to it because it’s nutritional and absolutely delicious.
Let’s just say it’s going to be something we really could have more than one piece of.

WHAT IS A GALETTE?
A galette is similar to a pie but different in some ways. It is made from pie crust, but it is baked differently with the pastry folding over on the sides. A pie is a sweet dessert that has a bottom and top crust (or without) that is baked in a deep dish, and fruit in between.
Galette’s are a pastry where the crust is wrapped and contains fruit in the middle. Therefore, the top is usually left opened and is baked on a baking sheet.
A galette, to me, is a simpler version of a pie with a light buttery crust. Also known as a pastry that is less sweet than a pie.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SOURDOUGH?
Sourdough has been made for hundreds of years and there is a reason. It contains naturally occurring bacteria which is very beneficial for our guts. There are many people who suffer from gluten issues since our bodies do not digest phytic acid very well. However, sourdough ceases the phytic acid making it easier to digest. Therefore, many people that suffer from gluten issues can more than likely consume sourdough bread (as long as it is signed off by a doctor) unless you have Celiac Disease.
Overall, it’s super beneficial for our guts and tastes amazing!

TIPS FOR MAKING SOURDOUGH RASPBERRY GALETTE:
- Make your pastry dough the night before. This way the sourdough can ferment, and it is one less step to do the day of making the galette.
- Be gentle with this dessert. It is delicious but very fragile.
WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE:
This recipe is one I believe you will find yourself making time and time again because:
- A dessert that is super simple to make, especially because you can store the sourdough pie crust in the freezer for a later day.
- It is delicious. I could not believe how much I loved this dessert when I made it for the first time. It was delightful and my husband approved.
- Galette’s make a fruit dessert so much more enjoyable. I feel that desserts can be centered around foods that contain chocolate or birthday cake, but this treat changes the name of the game for fruit desserts.
- You can change it up and use any fruit for this recipe.
- One could call it a pie, but it’s different from a pie. I feel pies can be heavy, but this dessert is little lighter and the buttery crust makes it absolutely decadent.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THE GALETTE IS DONE?
Your galette is done when the fruit is bubbly and the crust is a golden-brown color. It is pure, golden deliciousness.
