Description
This Strawberry Galette captures the essence of summer with its easy, free-form tart bursting with the vibrant taste of fresh strawberries, wrapped in a flaky, buttery crust.
Ingredients
2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
1 cup Unsalted Butter, very cold and cut into ½-inch cubes
½ cup Ice Water, plus 1-2 tablespoons more if needed
4 cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled and sliced ¼-inch thick
½ cup Granulated Sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons Cornstarch (or all-purpose flour)
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Fine Sea Salt
1 large Egg
1 tablespoon Water or Milk
1–2 tablespoons Turbinado Sugar (for sprinkling, optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt
- Add the very cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal
- Gradually add the ice water, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing
- Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
- Hull and slice strawberries, then combine with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Let sit for 10-15 minutes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Roll out the chilled dough into a rough 12-14 inch circle on a floured surface
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, add the strawberry filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating pleats, and leave the center ope
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with water or milk to create an egg wash. Brush it over the folded crust and sprinkle with turbinado sugar if using
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let cool for 20-30 minutes before serving
