Ingredients

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold 1 stick
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, cold or ice water
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp quality balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Remove the stems from your strawberries and slice them thinly.
    Add them to a small mixing bowl and toss with sugar, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar. Allow to rest to the side while you make the crust. This is called macerating!
  • Make the crust by dicing up the butter and add it to a bowl with the flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your clean hands, work the butter into the crust quickly so you don't warm the butter too much. You want the mixture to be crumbly with pea-sized bits of butter or smaller.
  • Mix in the orange juice and apple cider vinegar with a wooden spoon until it comes together.
  • Generously flour a countertop surface and roll out the dough into a thin circle. It can be as rustic as you want. Galettes are not about perfection! It should be roughly 1/8 inch thick.
  • Strain the strawberries and add them to the center of the galette, keeping about 2 inches clear around the edges. Bring the edges up and over the sides to make that classic galette shape.
  • Slide the galette onto parchment paper and onto a baking sheet. Pop the whole thing in the fridge or freezer while you preheat your oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Mix one egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash on the top of the crust and dust with raw dermerra sugar.
  • Bake the cold galette for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Allow to fully cool and congeal. Enjoy with freshly made whipped cream!
