Meet the classic strawberry galette, your new favorite summer dessert! Easy and effortless to make, this delicious dessert pairs perfectly with a variety of seasonal fruits or berries. Embrace the taste of summer with this easy-to-make galette that is sure to become a popular tradition in your kitchen!
This delicious strawberry galette is a perfect treat for this season. If you are not familiar with pancakes, we will soon catch up with you. Known as a “galette” in French or “crostata” in Italian, it is essentially a flat cake made from short crust pastry and generously filled with sweet or savory delights. Very easy to make, these rustic delights can be made with any fruit you have on hand. Think of them as a simplified, but equally delicious, version of a pie!
WHAT DO I NEED TO BAKE A GALETTE?
Luckily, there’s not much between you and this delicious galette! First, let’s talk about the crust. You have a choice here. You can opt for a store-bought short crust pastry, which works perfectly for this recipe. Alternatively, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your own right away: all you need is a mixture of flour, sugar, salt, butter, and water. For the topping, combine some fresh strawberries (or your favorite fruit), with a little sugar and vanilla.
THE BAKING PROCESS
When your galette is set to bake, give it a gorgeous finishing touch by brushing it with an egg wash, creating a rich, golden brown glaze. Sprinkle a bit more granulated sugar on top for a delightful crunch to the crust! Pop it into the oven at 180°C (fan) for approximately 25-30 minutes until the crust achieves a tempting golden hue. Once done, take it out, and while it’s still warm, drizzle the galette with the reserved strawberry juices from earlier. Feeling indulgent? This strawberry galette also pairs beautifully with a simple sugar glaze or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips for the Best Strawberry Galette
Don’t overfill the galette
- Too many strawberries can make the crust soggy. Keep the filling to a thin, even layer.
Toss the strawberries with cornstarch
- This helps thicken the juices so they don’t leak all over the baking sheet.
Brush the crust with egg wash
- This gives the galette a golden, glossy finish and extra crispiness.
Let it cool before slicing
- The filling thickens as it cools, so the slices hold their shape better.
Serving & Storage Tips
-
Best served warm – The flavors shine when freshly baked!
-
Pair with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
-
Store leftovers at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate for 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to crisp up the crust.
