Preparation
- 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.
- 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.
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C), giving it time to warm up while you prepare the filling and dough.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the galette in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- 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.
