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.

Fresh strawberries, homemade buttery crust; this is simple baking at its finest. This galette is so gorgeous in its rustic form. Even the most novice of bakers will have no problem shaping it! It’s a great introductory recipe to the world of pastries and pies.

I turned this galette recipe into 2 medium sized galettes, but you can also make 6 individual galettes from it. You can roll the dough out and make one or two large galettes that you can slice up like a pie, or even make them miniature and bite-sized. This recipe really is great for any in-season fruits you have in abundance and need to use up.

Ingredients

Keep scrolling for to the recipe card for the full list of ingredient amounts and instructions or click the “Jump to Recipe” button at the top of the page!

  • Flour – All-purpose.
  • Cornmeal – Get a finely ground cornmeal.
  • Salt – Uses more or less as per your preference.
  • Sugar – Granulated sugar, for both the strawberries and pastry.
  • Butter – I prefer to use unsalted.
  • Water – Ice cold.
  • Strawberries – Fresh. You can use frozen if you need.
  • Lemon – Freshly squeezed.
  • Cornstarch – This will thicken the juice that cooks out of the berries.
  • Egg – For egg wash.

How to make strawberry galette

  1. 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 pastry 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.
  2. Set: 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.
  3. Make the filling: Add all the filling ingredients to a bowl and mix everything together.
  4. Prep: Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Shape and assemble: 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 1/2 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 galette. Brush the pastry crust with the beaten egg.
  6. Bake: for about 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Other types of galettes

Galettes are like the easiest tart you’ve ever made. A simple homemade pie crust, fill with fresh ingredients, and bake to golden perfection. While I’ve made a sweet version today, you can make galettes savory as well. Here are some of my creations over the years:

  • Mini Blueberry Galettes
  • Peach and Blueberry Galettes
  • Plum Galette
  • Zucchini and Ricotta Galette
  • Rustic Fig Galette

How to serve

If the world of galette is new to you, think of these like a pie. Slice them into wedges and serve them all on their own, add a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkled with some powdered sugar, or a scoop of ice cream.

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.

Leftovers

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.

Can I freeze galette?

You can freeze your galette baked or unbaked. Whichever method you choose, make sure to wrap it well with both plastic wrap and foil to avoid freezer burn.

If you you freeze it unbaked, let it thaw loosely covered overnight in the fridge before baking. If you freeze it baked, let it thaw fully at room temperature, uncovered, before slicing.

    This is easy to make and so delicious! The cornmeal made the crust especially crunchy!

    I am going to try this with phyllo dough today, looks so yummy and fresh! Do you think it would work, Jo?

      It will be a bit different! Phyllo dough is much more delicate. You can give it a try and see how it turns out.

      I would try it with puff pastry, rather than phyllo dough

    Delicious. Such an elegant dessert. I have made these with savory veggies (tomatoes, onions, sliced taters) and served as appetizers. Great idea for a dessert
