🛒 Ingredients
Fresh strawberries. Use fresh strawberries that have been washed and dried. If you have extras, try them in our Banana Bread With Strawberries or Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate.
Black ground pepper. A secret ingredient that helps cut the acidity and enhances the strawberry flavor.
Prepared pie crust. Store bought or homemade both work. Using store bought saves time. If you have an extra crust, use it in our Fresh Strawberry Pie.
Egg wash. Made with an egg and a little water. Brushing it on the crust helps it bake up golden.
Turbinado sugar. Optional, but adds a nice crunch and polished look when sprinkled around the edges.

💰 Budget-Friendly Tips
Buy strawberries in season: Fresh strawberries are cheapest and most flavorful at peak season.
Make your own crust: Use a homemade pie crust if you have the time and ingredients. It is often cheaper per serving and uses pantry staples.
Skip the egg wash sugar: Turbinado sugar is optional and can be omitted without affecting the bake.
🥄 Instructions for Rustic Strawberry Galette
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Mix together the strawberries, granulated sugar, vanilla, cornstarch, lemon juice, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until combined.
Step 3: Lay a pie crust on top of a piece of parchment paper.
Step 4: Place the strawberry filling into the center of the pie crust.
Step 5: Prepare egg wash and brush it over the edges of the pie crust.
Step 6: Fold up the edges, crimping as you go to form a pocket that holds the filling in.
Step 7: Pick up the parchment paper and place it onto a baking sheet.
Step 8: Brush the crust with more egg wash and then sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Step 9: Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Keep it simple. Lay out the crust, add the filling, fold the edges, and bake. Galettes are meant to be easy and rustic.
- Use parchment paper. Assemble the galette on parchment to prevent sticking and make transferring it to the baking sheet effortless.
- Let it cool slightly. Cool for 10 to 20 minutes so the filling can thicken. If serving warm with ice cream, a quick 10 minute rest is enough.
❄️ Storage, Reheating & Make Ahead
Storage: Store leftover Rustic Strawberry Galette loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat slices in a 350°F oven for 5-8 minutes to refresh the crust. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
Make Ahead: Assemble the galette and refrigerate unbaked for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving for best texture.

❓ Rustic Strawberry Galette FAQs
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.
A galette is like a pie's carefree cousin; it's not confined to a pie dish but bakes up beautifully on a baking sheet. Start with a single layer of pie dough rolled out into a big circle, and then get creative with fillings like apples or blueberries on top.

- 3 tablespoons cornstarch - ($0.12)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice - ($0.06)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper - ($0.01)
- 1 prepared pie crust - ($0.88)
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten - ($0.15)
- 1 teaspoon water

Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Mix the filling. In a large bowl, stir together the strawberries, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch, lemon juice, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Prepare the crust. Lay the pie crust flat on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Fill the galette. Spoon the strawberry mixture into the center of the crust, leaving a border around the edges.
- Make the egg wash. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
- Shape the galette. Brush the edges of the crust lightly with egg wash. Fold the edges up and over the filling, crimping as you go to create a rustic border.

Notes
