Strawberry Galette

 

 


 Well friends I did it!  Well Eva and I did it.  We created a TikTok Channel for me and my content.  She is not only an amazing editor but she is great with socials and marketing.  My little 7th grader is becoming such a Branding Wiz.  She helped me create my intro video and a few more to get started with.

 

The first recipe I shared is for this amazing Strawberry Galette.  Truth be told, I didn't even know how to pronounce Galette until I watched Five Star Weekend and now I am obsessed!

 

I think if you have been following along for awhile then you know I am not much of a baker.  I consider myself a cook.  I love to cook.  It is therapeutic and helps me to decompress.  I meal plan like a ninja and try different recipes all the time.

 

I am working on my baking game and this galette came out great so I wanted to share it with YOU.  If you are on Tiktok and want to follow along, my channel is "Holly Helps Mamas".  The video below was posted yesterday.  

 

Here is the recipe and instructions and the video goes over how to put this bad boy together.  If you try it, let me know and enjoy! 

 

 


 

Ingredients

1 16- ounce carton strawberries sliced 
3 tablespoons granulated sugar. 
 1 small lemon zested 
1 tablespoon cornstarch 
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract 
1 refrigerated pre-rolled pie crust 
1 egg 
1-2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar

 

Instructions

 


 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
 
Add the sliced strawberries to a bowl along with the granulated sugar, lemon zest, cornstarch, and vanilla. Toss several times so that the berries are evenly coated.
 
Carefully unroll the pie crust onto the parchment lined baking sheet. It's okay if it's slightly too large to fit as you'll be folding the edges over.
 
Spoon the strawberry mixture into the center of the dough. Arrange the strawberries in an even layer leaving a 2-inch border free. 
 
Fold the edges of the dough toward the center over the berry filling, overlapping as needed. Gently press any folds to help them adhere.
 
Beat the egg in a small bowl for the egg wash. Brush the crust with the egg wash then sprinkle with the Turbinado sugar.
 
Bake in the preheated 375 degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. 
 
Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken. Slice and serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream if desired. 
 
Enjoy warm or at room temperature

  3. I had never heard of a galette until Alec made an apple one for his culinary class in high school. Your strawberry one looks incredible.
