Strawberry Galette Recipe

Strawberry galette

Galettes are an excellent way to use fruit that is not quite up to par, like late summer strawberries. The lower ratio of fruit to crust and the exposure to the oven's heat allows the to fruit caramelize and concentrates the flavors.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces granulated sugar

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons starch (corn, potato, or tapioca)

  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered

  • One half recipe Easy Pie Dough, rolled out to 1/8 inch thick and chilled

  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a pinch of salt)

  • Optional: sanding sugar for sprinkling

Directions

  1. Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and starch. Add berries and toss to coat with dry mixture. Line a sheet pan with parchment and place the dough sheet on top. Pile strawberry mixture in the center, leaving at least 3 inches of dough uncovered on all sides. Fold overhang back up around fruit, encasing it on all sides, folding it into rustic pleats to gather up excess. Chill shaped galette in fridge for 1/2 hour.

  2. Remove chilled galette from fridge and brush exposed dough with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar if desired. Place the sheet tray on the prepared rack and bake for 20 minutes, turning halfway through. Lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 20-30 additional minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling all over. Remove from oven and allow galette to cool completely before serving.
