Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All Purpose Flour
- 8 tbsp ( 1 stick) unsalted butter very cold and cubed
- 1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
- 1/3 cup ice cold water
- 4 cups strawberries, sliced
- 4 tbsp sugar, divided
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- For the dough using the food processor add the flour, salt and butter and then pulse several times until the flour mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse sand. Add water 1 tbsp at a time pulsing in between each addition until the dough comes together and forms a ball (you may need a little less water depending on your local humidity levels). If you choose not to use a food processor you can make the dough in a large mixing bowl using your hands to mix the flour and butter mixture until coarse and crumbly, and then use a fork to gently form the dough after each addition of the water. Take care not to overwork the dough.
- Pat the dough ball into a flat disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Toss the strawberries together with tbsp of sugar, cornstarch and lemon zest and set aside.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a circle roughly 13-14 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the strawberries in the center of the dough leaving a two inch border. Fold the border up and over the strawberries forming a very loose crimp. Brush the dough with an egg wash (made by whisking 1 large egg and 1 tbsp of water with a fork) and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
- Bake the galette at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
