Simple Strawberry Galette
Ingredients
CRUST
- storebought pie crust, like Pillsbury
FILLING
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves or jam
- 2 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tsp orange juice or lemon juice
- 1 - 3 tbsp sugar (depending on how sweet you like your filling)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or flour
TOPPING
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread a bit of flour down on the parchment paper and place dough disc on your parchment paper. I used BOTH dough discs in the package for a thicker pie/crostata crust. Gentle mold the two discs together, one on top of the other, to create a thicker disc. Use a bit of flour to work and mold the edges of the two pie dough discs together.
- In a medium bowl, add strawberries and sprinkle with sugar, orange or lemon juice, and cornstarch; gently stir to coat. Set aside for about 15 minutes. Place jam in a small bowl and microwave briefly (about 10 seconds); whisk to loosen. Brush half of the jam over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with coated strawberry slices and brush with remaining jam. Fold dough along the border/edges up over the strawberries, pleating to make an edge.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg for 15-30 seconds or until frothy. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash over all visible dough. Sprinkle turbinado or rolling sugar over the edges.
- Place into middle of oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until crust is golden and fruit is tender. Let cool for 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
