Prep Time45 minutes

Total Time1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

dough

galette

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and cut into ¼-inch slices
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • Fresh whipped cream for serving (optional)
  • Snipped fresh basil for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine flour, sugar, salt and vanilla bean seeds in the bowl of a food processor. Cut chilled butter into small cubes; add to food processor and pulse until combined, about 10 times. Cut frozen butter into small cubes; add to food processor and pulse just until a coarse meal with a few larger chunks of butter forms.
  • Add ice water to food processor and pulse just until a dough forms, about 10 times. Turn out dough onto a countertop and form dough into a disk. Place disk between two large pieces of plastic wrap; roll out to a 1/2-inch thick round. Seal in plastic wrap and chill at least 45 minutes or up to 2 days (can also be wrapped in plastic, then foil, and frozen up to a month).
  • When dough is fully chilled, unwrap and roll out on a floured surface to a 1/4-inch thick round. Cut dough into a 10-inch circle; discard scraps. Transfer dough disk to a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Toss hulled and sliced strawberries with sugar and cornstarch. Immediately place strawberries on chilled dough, slightly overlapping in concentric circles, if desired, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges. Carefully fold up dough around the sides. Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Brush dough with egg wash, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar. Sprinkle chilled butter pieces over berries. Bake until golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Cool to room temperature on a cooling rack. Serve with fresh whipped cream and top with snipped fresh basil just before serving, if desired.
