This delightful Strawberry Galette is an ideal treat for this season. If you’re not acquainted with galettes, let’s catch you up quickly. Known as ‘galette’ in French or ‘crostata’ in Italian, it’s essentially a flat cake crafted from shortcrust dough and generously filled with sweet or savory goodness. Incredibly easy to make, these rustic delights can be whipped up with any fruit you have available. Think of them as a simplified, yet equally scrumptious, version of a pie!
WHAT DO I NEED TO BAKE A GALETTE?
Fortunately, not much stands between you and this delicious galette! First, let’s talk about the crust. You’ve got choices here. You can opt for a convenient store-bought short crust pastry, which works perfectly for this recipe. Alternatively, if you’re feeling adventurous, crafting your own is a breeze – just a blend of flour, sugar, salt, butter, and water. For the filling, gather some fresh strawberries (or your preferred fruit), along with a bit more sugar and vanilla.
BAKING THE GALETTE
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.
