These three formats represent different ways of working with structure.
Crumble baking teaches balance—between moisture and crispness, sweetness and acidity, softness and texture. It rewards restraint and understanding rather than decoration.
Galettes introduce controlled freedom. Their open form demands confidence in dough handling, moisture management, and visual intuition. They are flexible, but not forgiving.
Tartlets are precision work. They require planning, engineering, and timing. Every layer matters. Every decision has a consequence.
Together, these forms cover the full spectrum of baking decision-making. That is why they are treated not as recipes, but as systems.
