Description
A rustic, golden Strawberry & Pistachio Galette filled with juicy strawberries and crunchy pistachios, baked to perfection for a sweet, nutty, and buttery treat that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 1/4 cups, forms the base for a tender, flaky crust.
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (cold, cubed), adds richness and crispness.
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon, enhances flavor and balances sweetness.
- Ice Water: 3–4 tablespoons, helps bring the dough together without overmixing.
- Fresh Strawberries: 2 cups (hulled and sliced), provide the juicy, fruity center.
- Granulated Sugar: 1/4 cup, sweetens the filling and caramelizes the edges.
- Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon, thickens the fruit juices during baking.
- Lemon Zest: 1 teaspoon, brightens the flavor.
- Chopped Pistachios: 1/3 cup, add a nutty crunch and stunning color.
- Egg (for egg wash): 1, gives the crust a golden shine.
- Coarse Sugar (optional): 1 tablespoon, adds a sweet sparkle on top.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix flour and salt, then cut in the butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until the dough holds together.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rough 12-inch circle, then transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
- Assemble the Dish: Toss strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Spoon the filling onto the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top.
- Cook to Perfection: Fold the dough edges over the filling, pleating as you go. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: Let it cool slightly before slicing. The filling will thicken as it rests.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Chill the dough before rolling to prevent shrinking.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any juices.
- Brush the crust with apricot jam after baking for a glossy finish.
