Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 190 g All purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- ⅕ teaspoon Baking powder
- 10 g Granulated sugar
- 115 g Unsalted butter (very cold)
- 15 g Heavy Cream
- 30 g Cream cheese
- 300 g Strawberry (fresh)
- 30 g Granulated sugar
- 10 g Corn starch
- 2 tablespoon Almond flour (under the fruit filling)
- 1/2 Egg (with a drop of water to egg wash)
Instructions
- 1
Sift together the dry ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- 2
Add the very cold butter chunks and rub the mixture between your fingers and hands until it forms a sand-like consistency. It is fine to leave in a few bigger pieces of butter.
- 3
Add the cream and cream cheese and mix the dough with your hands, just until it comes together.
- 4
Knead the dough with the palm of your hand for a minute (do not over-knead and do not use a mixer) just until the dough becomes smooth.
- 5
Form the dough into a round disk, wrap it in plastic food wrap, and place it in the fridge for a minimum of one hour or overnight.
- 6
Prepare the filling. Core and slice the strawberries and gently mix them with the sugar and starch to evenly coat the fruit.
- 7
Once the dough has chilled, roll it out into a circle on the parchment paper you will be baking it on. Move it onto a baking tray and sprinkle almond flour over the surface.
- 8
Place the filling on top of the pastry. Gently and tightly fold the edges over the strawberry galette filling.
- 9
Put the unbaked galette into the freezer for 10-15 minutes while pre-heating the oven to 200 C / 392 F (no fan).
- 10
Bake the strawberry galette for 30 minutes. It is ready when the crust turns an even golden brown color, and the filling is bubbling.
- 11
Serve the strawberry galette after it cools down to room temperature.
- 12
You can store the leftover strawberry galette in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
