Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour serves as the base for a flaky and buttery crust.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tartness of the fruit.
  • 1/4 tsp salt enhances flavor and helps balance the sweetness.
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed ensures a rich, flaky texture when baked.
  • 3-4 tbsp ice water helps bind the dough without melting the butter.
Filling
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced the star ingredient that makes this Strawberry Galette deliciously fruity!
  • Zest of 1 lemon brightens up the strawberries and adds a refreshing citrus note.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheet
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until well-blended. Add in the cold butter cubes and cut them in using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about pea-sized pieces.
  2. Gradually drizzle in the ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Once it’s formed, wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
  3. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C), giving it time to warm up while you prepare the filling and dough.
  4. In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with lemon zest. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to let the juices combine and create a vibrant filling.
  5. Sprinkle flour over your surface and roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle, about 12 inches wide. Once rolled, carefully transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Spoon the strawberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Gently fold the edges over the filling, creating a rustic look while exposing the beautiful strawberries.
  7. Place the galette in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!

Notes

For the perfect Strawberry Galette crust, make sure your butter is very cold to ensure a flaky texture when baked. Avoid overworking the dough, and aim for an even thickness when rolling out.
