Ingredients
CRUST:
- 187.5 grams all-purpose flour about 1 ½ cups
- 18.75 grams granulated sugar about 1 ½ tbsp
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ stick butter, unsalted cold and cubed
- 6-7 tablespoon water
FILLING:
- 3 cups strawberries quartered
- 50 grams granulated sugar about ½ cup
- 2 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
EGG WASH:
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream
- coarse sugar if desired, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar and salt.
- Add cold butter cubes in and cut in butter with a pastry cutter.
- Pour in water and mix with a spatula; there will be some pieces that don’t fully form a ball, but you can blend them in after.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead dough just enough to fully form a ball (about 4-6 times) and flatten into a disk shape. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour (I like to do 2 hours).
- Make your filling by adding everything into a bowl and mix well. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes then start to preheat your oven to 375F.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and remove the dough from the fridge onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to 12” round, then transfer to your prepared baking sheet.
- Using a slotted spoon (alternatively, you can strain your fruit mixture), add filling to the center of the dough, leaving a 1 ½ to 2-inch border, to fold up over the strawberries.
- Prepare your egg wash mixture by whisking egg and heavy cream together. Brush on crust. If desired sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
- Bake galette for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Cool slightly then serve warm.
Notes
- Keep everything cold. Use cold butter and chill the dough disk before rolling to prevent a greasy crust.
- Using a pastry cutter helps blend the flour mixture and butter into a light, flaky base without adding any heat from your hands.
- Use a slotted spoon to avoid extra juices that can soak the crust.
- A parchment-lined baking sheet makes for easy cleanup and ensures no sticking.
- Bake until the edges of the dough are deeply golden and crisp.
