Scale
For the Galette
-
- 2 premade pie crusts
- 4 cups small fresh whole strawberries
- 1/3 cup sugar, plus a pinch for sprinkling
For the Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the pie crusts: Allow the pie crusts to sit at room temperature, or thaw according to the directions on the box if they are frozen.
- Mix the strawberries: Add the sugar to the strawberries in a bowl and stir gently until the strawberries are evenly coated.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the galette: Open the pie crusts and place half of the strawberry mixture in the center of each crust. Begin folding the crust over the strawberries, leaving a visible “hole” in the middle. Fold one side of the crust toward the middle, then proceed with the next, using a little water as needed to seal any seams. This step is easiest when done directly on the baking sheet to avoid transferring and spilling.
- Apply the egg wash: Beat the egg with water and brush the mixture evenly over the crusts. Sprinkle a bit of sugar on top for added sweetness and texture.
- Bake the galette: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked.
- Cool the galette: Allow the galette to cool. If there is excess juice from the strawberries, transfer the galette to a wire rack with a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips. This helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Notes
- If you don’t have small strawberries, cut larger ones in half to measure 4 cups.
