These 5 galette recipes are ready for their Instagram moment

From sourdough to artfully decorated focaccia, quarantine food trends have been filling our social media channels with delicious-looking photos that tempt us to jump on the DIY bandwagon.

Next up? I nominate the humble galette.

Galettes are basically free-form pies, sweet or savory as you please. No fussy lattices, no anxiety as you gently nudge dough into a dish. Just slap the dough on a baking sheet, pile in your fillings, pull the edges over and voila! You have a rustic pie with so much less effort.

[Think pies are too fussy? A rustic galette is just as impressive — and much easier.]

Another bonus: Galettes usually bake more quickly than pies, meaning less time running that hot oven.

You can fill a galette with just about any flavor combination. Start with a simple, adaptable dough, then check out these variations from our Recipe Finder to live your galette dreams.
