Scale
Filling
- 2 cups Fresh Strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup Pistachios, chopped
- 1/4 cup Sugar, plus more for sprinkling
Pastry
- 1 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3–4 tablespoons Ice Water
Instructions
- Prepare the Pastry: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you prepare the filling.
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, chopped pistachios, and a sprinkle of sugar. Toss gently to coat the strawberries with sugar.
- 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 mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go.
- Bake: Brush the crust with an egg wash for a golden finish and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
- Chill Ingredients: Keep your butter and water ice-cold for a flakier crust.
- Don’t Overwork the Dough: Mix just until combined to avoid tough pastry.
- Use Parchment Paper: This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Let it Cool: Allow the galette to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Serve with Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream elevates this dessert to the next level.
