What is a galette?
A galette is a free-form tart that is typically made with a buttery crust and filled with fruit or vegetables. Unlike a traditional tart or pie, a galette doesn't require a special pan or dish to hold its shape. Instead, the dough is rolled out and the filling is placed in the center, leaving a border of dough around the edges. The edges are then folded up and over the filling, creating a rustic, homemade look.
Why use store bought crust?
While making your own crust from scratch can be rewarding, sometimes you just don't have the time or energy to do so. Using a store bought crust can save you time and effort without sacrificing flavor. Plus, store bought crusts are usually made with quality ingredients and can be just as delicious as homemade crusts.
