Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Ensure your baking sheet is completely flat for an even bake.
Step 2: Mix the Oat Crust Dough
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the organic oat flour and pure pumpkin puree. Gradually add warm water one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a spatula until a cohesive, pliable dough forms.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Do not overmix; knead gently just until the dough comes together.
Step 3: Roll and Shape the Galette
Roll the dough into a ball, place it onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, and press it out flat into a rustic 6-inch circle with slightly raised edges.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Dust your hands lightly with oat flour if the dough feels slightly sticky.
Step 4: Assemble the Chicken and Carrot Filling
In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken and finely grated carrot together. Mound this savory protein and veggie filling into the center of the oat crust circle, leaving a half-inch border.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Press the filling down gently so it stays compact during baking.
Step 5: Fold the Galette Edges
Fold the outer edges of the oat crust up and over the filling, creating a charming rustic galette shape while leaving the center exposed.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Pleat the dough neatly to prevent any filling spillage.
Step 6: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the oat crust is firm, golden brown, and fragrant.
> 💡 **Pro Tip:** Let the galette cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
