Glazed Strawberry Galette Recipes

STRAWBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C.
• For the pastry: Mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and work with the fingers to a crumbly texture. Mix the water in quickly until the dough just holds together. Pat into a disk, wrap and refrigerate half an hour.
• Mix the almonds, flour and sugar. Roll out the chilled dough into a circle and set on a baking sheet. Spread the almond mixture over, leaving a 3 inch/7.5 cm margin. Toss the strawberries with the additional sugar and arrange on top. Fold the edges of the galette dough up over the berries and bake until the crust is crisp and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream, flavored with vanilla or cinnamon.

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour with your fingers until the mixture is coarse crumbs. Add 3 tbsp water and mix with a fork. Use hands to knead the dough in the bowl until it forms a ball. Flatten ball into 1-inch thick square, then wrap it in plastic and chill for an hour.
• Combine ground almonds, mascarpone, 2 tbsp honey and vanilla in a bowl and mix until smooth. Reserve.
• In another bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar and flour and reserve.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove dough from fridge and let it sit on the counter for a few minutes. Roll it out on a floured work surface to a 14-inch square, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Cover the dough with the mascarpone filling leaving a border around the edges.
• Arrange the strawberries over the filling.
• Fold edges of dough over the strawberries and pleat or crimp the edges.
• Combine egg yolk and milk and brush over the crust.
• Bake until golden-brown, about 40 minutes.
• Heat reserved honey and brush it over the strawberries.

STRAWBERRY GALETTE

Steps:

• Whisk the all-purpose flour and the almond flour in a large bowl, then set aside. (It's best to stick it in the freezer for about 15 minutes until ready to use, to ensure a well-chilled dough.)
• Slice 3 tablespoons of the butter as thinly as possible without getting obsessive about it. (It's OK if pieces break.) Cut the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter into 1/2-inch cubes. Keeping the sliced butter and cubed butter separate, set the butter in the fridge to chill until ready to use.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the 1/4 cup yogurt with 1 tablespoon of the water and keep cold in the fridge until ready to use.
• Whisk the flour mixture with the 1 teaspoon sugar and the salt. Spread the cubed butter pieces over the flour and cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingers until the chunks look slightly smaller than pea size. Toss the butter slices with the flour mixture, separating them as you go, then gently press them into the flour between your fingers into flat sheets. (This extra step is helpful in creating pockets of steam, which will make for a flakier crust, an added bonus for pie dough makers of any skill!)
• Drizzle the chilled yogurt over the flour and butter mixture. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to toss and combine. If the dough seems dry, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the ice water, and continue tossing and combining, incorporating any dry flour bits at the bottom of the bowl and scraping off the spatula as you go, until the mixture just comes together in a mound. If needed, drizzle more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, without allowing the dough to get too wet.
• Transfer the dough to a large piece of plastic wrap, then press the dough into a 6-inch disk and wrap well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees with the rack in the center position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Prepare the filling: Place 1/2 cup sugar and the lemon zest in a large bowl and rub the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips. Add the strawberries, cornstarch and salt; mix well to combine, making sure the cornstarch is well incorporated. Add up to another 1/4 cup sugar if desired, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries and your desired level of sweetness.
• Dust your countertop with flour, then transfer the chilled dough to it and sprinkle a little flour on top of the dough. Roll the dough out to a 12- to 14-inch round, lightly flouring as needed. (It's OK if the edges break and the shape isn't perfectly round.) Gently transfer the dough by rolling it over a rolling pin and onto the prepared baking sheet. (At this point, if you've forgotten something, like preparing the egg wash, or if your dough has warmed up slightly, place the sheet pan in the fridge for a few minutes.)
• Mound the strawberries and their juices in the middle of the dough and leave a 2-inch border. Fold the border over the fruit, pleating as you fold and leaving the center of the galette exposed. Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until the crust is golden and the strawberries are bubbling, about 35 minutes. It's OK if some juices leak. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour and serve.

STRAWBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Blend or puree the strawberries into a liquid.
• Dissolve cornstarch in the cold water in a medium saucepan. Add strawberry puree and sugar and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until just beginning to boil. Remove from heat.
• Immediately add butter and lemon juice; stir until butter has melted. Allow to cool before serving.
