Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 160 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 113 grams unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 400 grams strawberries (fresh, hulled and sliced)
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam
- 1 teaspoon water (to thin apricot jam)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Drizzle ice water over the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the strawberry filling. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat the strawberries evenly. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the strawberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border around the edges. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, overlapping as needed, to create a rustic crust.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the edges of the dough to help it brown beautifully in the oven.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
While the galette bakes, heat the apricot jam and water in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Once the galette is finished baking, brush the warm glaze over the strawberry filling for a glossy finish.
Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature!
