Strawberry Galette

Flaky crust and a sweet, fresh filling. This Strawberry Galette is begging to be on your table! While it has a beautiful presentation, this pastry is easier than pie to make. Featuring my tried-and-true buttery pie crust, this stunning sweet treat is a winner every time.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup butter unsalted, very cold, and cut into small pieces
  • ¼ to ½ cup ice water

Strawberry Filling

  • 3 cups strawberries cleaned and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 3 teaspoon sugar
  • tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions

  • Make the pastry by hand: Add the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar and butter to a mixing bowl. Using two knives or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until it resembles course sand. Add the water and mix it all together until the dough comes together. OR with a food processor: Add the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar and butter to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles course sand. Add the water and continue to pulse until the dough comes together.

  • Turn the dough over onto a floured surface and form it into a ball. Cut the ball into 2 pieces, and flatten each one into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • When the dough has chilled, roll each piece into a rough circle, that's maybe about 12 inches in diameter. In the middle of each circle, place ½ of the strawberry filling. Leave about a 2 to 3 inches border. Slowly fold up the sides of the galette over the strawberries all the way around. Repeat this with the remaining pastry and filling. Brush the pastry crust with the beaten egg.

Notes

  1. Recipe yields 2 galettes.
  2. Like pies, your galette truly can be served at any temperature. I recommend letting it cool down for 10-15 minutes after taking it out of the oven to let the strawberries firm up and cool down a bit, otherwise you will burn your tongue. Other than that, you can enjoy it hot, at room temperature, or cold from the fridge.
  3. Store your galette, loosely covered with foil or plastic wrap, at room temperature for 2 days. You can also keep it in the fridge up to 5 days. If you choose to heat it up, it's best to reheat it in the oven at 300F for 5-10 minutes until warm. While you can use the microwave, keep in mind this method will soften the crust.
