Ingredients
- ½ recipe all-butter flaky pie dough
- 1 lb strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 4 cups sliced)
- 5 tbsp granulated sugar, divided
- 2 ½ tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a piece of parchment paper. You can bake the galette directly on the paper, or bake it in a pie pan, whichever you prefer.
- Prepare the pie dough as instructed. Roll the dough out to about 12 inches in diameter, and place the dough on the parchment paper, or fit it into a pie pan.
- In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 4 tablespoons sugar, the corn starch and vanilla bean paste, until well coated. Spoon the strawberries into the dough.
- Fold up the edges of the dough, so that it covers the strawberries around the edges by about 2 inches, but the center of the galette is open.
- Lightly brush the egg white over the edge of the dough and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Place the galette in the refrigerator to chill while you preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F, and position a rack just below the center position. Bake the galette for about 50-55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the strawberry filling is bubbling.
- Cool the galette for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, then serve on its own, or with a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
Strawberry galette is best eaten the day it's made, since the crust can start to soften by the next day.
