Description
A delicious homemade strawberry galette with a flaky crust and sweet strawberry filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
- 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 1/2 cups sliced ripe strawberries
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons sugar, plus extra for topping
- splash of milk for brushing on the crust
Instructions
- First, make the crust: In a medium bowl, stir together lightly the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter and blend with a pastry cutter or two knives. Once the butter is smaller than peas, add the vinegar and cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time until a moist dough forms. It should clump together when squeezed in your hand but not be overly wet.
- Form the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, then wrap in plastic before storing in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir the sliced strawberries, rose water, flour and sugar together in a bowl. Let sit while you roll out the dough. Preheat the oven to 375°.
- To roll out the dough, place a piece of parchment paper on the counter. Gradually roll out the dough to a 9” circle, taking your time to turn the dough a quarter turn each time after rolling in one direction. Transfer the parchment paper and dough directly onto a baking sheet.
- Mound the strawberries in the center of the dough, leaving a 2” border. Fold up the edges of the dough onto the strawberries. Make sure you do not have too many areas for the strawberry juices to escape, although some will inevitably.
- Brush the dough with milk, then sprinkle extra sugar over top. Bake for 40 minutes. Try to let it cool to room temperature before slicing and serving (the warmer it is, the runnier it will be).
Notes
- The galette is a rustic, free-form pie that can be filled with different types of fruits.
- Allow the galette to cool completely for best results in slicing.
