Materials

Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 7 - 8 Tbsp. ice water

Filling:

  • 2 cups strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Crust Topping:

  • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp. turbinado sugar

Instructions

Crust:

  • In food processor, mix together flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Add butter cubes and pulse a few times until butter is reduced. Small chunks are expected to still be there.
  • Add ice water to flour mixture and pulse a few times until combined. Dough should be moistened, but not sticky.
  • Place dough on a tea towel. Pull up all four corners and twist, thereby shaping the dough into a ball. Remove towel and wrap dough in plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator while you work on the filling.

Filling:

  • Place sliced strawberries in medium bowl with sugar and cornstarch. Add lemon zest and stir. Add blueberries and egg. Stir.
  • Preheat oven to 375° and set dough on counter for 10 minutes.
  • On a large piece of parchment paper, lightly flour surface. Roll out dough to approx. 15-inches in diameter. The edges do not have to be smooth and even.
  • Transfer paper and dough to baking sheet at least 12-inches wide.
  • With a slotted spoon, spoon the filling onto center of pastry. Discard liquid left in bowl.
  • Spread filling in even layer to within 2 inches of edge. Fold edges of pastry over the filling, creating overlapping pleats.

Crust Topping:

  • Brush melted butter over pleated crust, then sprinkle turbinado sugar over butter.
  • Bake for 55 - 60 minutes. Allow galette to completely cool on baking sheet on a wire rack (approx. 1 hour).
  • Cut into wedges like a pie, and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
