Tips for making strawberry galette recipe
Making a galette is super easy and a great way to make a “pie” without the actual effort of making a pie. We lay the crust out flat, fill it up, fold the edges and bake. There’s nothing difficult about it and it’s perfect for taking the easy route while giving great looking results.
I highly recommend making your galette on a piece of parchment paper as you can transfer it to the baking sheet easily and lift it off after it’s finished baking. Without the parchment paper, you may notice some crust sticking to the baking sheet as you go to slice it and that, unfortunately, causes the crust to break.
Giving your galette adequate time to cool after baking will also help the filling to thicken. About 10-20 minutes is perfect for thickening the filling, but I like it closer to that 10 minute mark because I’m impatient and want it warm with my cold ice cream.
FAQ’s about this galette recipe
Fun fact, black pepper helps to cut down on the acidity of berries so you can expect sweeter results without the fear of biting into a sour strawberry. You can omit the pepper if desired but I really think it works perfectly in here as it’s unnoticeable in flavor, but helps to bring everything together and enhance the flavors nicely.
Turbinado sugar is also known as “sugar in the raw” it’s a more coarse sugar and golden brown in color. When added to baked goods it adds sweetness and crunch because it doesn’t dissolve as quickly as a finer grain would.
