Galette Of Strawberries And Rhubarb Recipes

GALETTE OF STRAWBERRIES AND RHUBARB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Mix the flour and salt. Work in the butter by hand, in a mixer or in a food processor until the mixture is crumbly. Add just enough water so the dough can be gathered in a ball.
• Roll dough in a circle 10 inches in diameter. Set it on a baking sheet.
• Mix the pecans and brown sugar together. Sprinkle one-third of this mixture over the pastry, to within an inch of the edge. Toss the rhubarb with one-third of the pecan mixture and spread them over the pecan mixture already on the pastry. Arrange the strawberry halves on top, sprinkle with the remaining third of the pecan mixture and drizzle with melted butter.
• Fold in the one-inch border of the pastry, partially covering the edge of the filling.
• Bake 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Serve warm or cooled, with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Stack the two discs of dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a disc about 12 inches wide. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Set aside.
• Toss together the rhubarb, strawberries, cornstarch and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside. Roll out the almond paste into a 10-inch circle.
• Place the almond paste on the dough. Top evenly with the strawberry-rhubarb filling, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges. Fold the dough edges toward the center of the galette, up and over the edges of the filling, overlapping as needed.
• Whisk together the egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Brush on the edges of the galette and sprinkle with the almonds and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
• Bake until the filling is bubbly and the edges are nicely browned, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving with whipped cream or ice cream.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB GALETTE WITH BUCKWHEAT CRUST

Steps:

• Dough:
• Whisk all-purpose and buckwheat flours, sugar, and salt in a large bowl to combine. Add butter and work into dry ingredients with your hands, mashing it into big flat pieces and smooshing it between your palms into the flour, until you have pea- and nickel-size pieces.
• Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water over mixture and rake it in with your fingers until evenly dispersed. Squeeze clumps with your hands to moisten until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a work surface.
• Gather dough together, pushing and working it into a ball, then flattening it, until only a few dry spots remain. Pat into a 3/4"-thick square. Using a bench scraper or knife, divide dough into 4 pieces. Stack pieces on top of one another, placing any unincorporated dry bits in between layers, and press down to combine. Form dough into a 3/4"-thick disk and wrap tightly in plastic. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
• Filling and assembly:
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on a well-floured surface to a 14" round, rotating dough and tossing more flour underneath as needed to keep it from sticking. Transfer dough to a large parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet (most galettes will spring a leak at the creases of the pastry, even for pros). Place rhubarb, strawberries, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Scrape in vanilla seeds and discard pod; toss ingredients to evenly distribute.
• Mound filling in center of dough, making sure to scoop up all the sugar and cornstarch in bowl, and spread out, leaving a 2" border around edges. Fold dough up and over filling, overlapping slightly. Brush dough with egg and sprinkle dough and filling generously with sugar.
• Bake galette until filling is bubbling and crust is deeply browned, 40-50 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve topped with whipped cream.
