Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour (2 ¼ cup)
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 227 g unsalted butter (1 cup), very cold, cut into tablespoons
- 2 large egg yolks, cold
- 5 tablespoons ice water*
- 350 g hulled strawberries
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 12 g cornstarch (1 ½ tablespoon)
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- turbinado sugar, as needed
Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or forks until the mixture resembles coarse, pebbled sand.
- Incorporate egg yolks and ice water; mix with a spatula until it resembles a shaggy consistency.
- Turn the mixture onto a clean surface and gently knead until a cohesive dough forms, being careful not to over-knead.
- Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 days.
- The recipe produces two pie doughs; use one for this galette and freeze the other for later.
Notes
For best results, make sure butter is very cold to achieve a flaky crust.
Chilling the dough is crucial; it helps in maintaining the texture during baking.
Use fresh strawberries for optimal flavor.
