Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh Strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (for macerating strawberries)
- 1/2 cup Pistachios, chopped
Crust Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (for crust)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup Ice Water
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Shape it into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: While the dough chills, wash and slice the strawberries. In a bowl, toss the strawberries with sugar and let them macerate for about 15 minutes to release their juices. Mix in the chopped pistachios for added crunch.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Assemble the Galette: Place the strawberry and pistachio filling in the center of the dough, leaving a border of about 2 inches. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go to create a rustic look.
- Bake: Brush the crust with an egg wash (or milk for a vegan option) and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
- Chill Your Ingredients: Make sure your butter and water are cold to achieve a flaky crust.
- Let the Filling Drain: Allow the strawberries to release some juices to prevent a soggy bottom.
- Use Parchment Paper: Baking on parchment paper ensures easy transfer and cleanup.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be afraid to add your favorite spices or extracts to the filling.
- Serve Warm: This galette is best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven!
