Instructions

Double-Crust Pie Pastry *this galette uses half of this pastry recipe

Before starting, make sure all ingredients are cold to ensure the crust comes out flaky. The whole idea of this dough-making process is to keep the dough cold so that it comes out flakey when baked.
In a large mixing bowl, mix 2-1/3 cups flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chilled butter slices. Using a pastry blender, work the mixture until you get a crumbly texture with about 1/2-inch inch butter chunks.
Starting with 1/4 cup ice water, gradually add the ice water into the mixture, and using a large fork and then your fingertips, work the dough until it just comes together into a ball. If it needs more ice water to form a ball, then you can add more and keep the ice water on hand in case you need more later if the dough dries out.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap to prevent drying and refrigerate for a 1/2 hour before rolling out.
After chilling for a 1/2 hour, divide the dough ball evenly in half with a dough scraper. Wrap 1 half of the dough in the plastic wrap and return it to the refrigerator to use for another recipe.
Roll the chilled dough out in an 11-inch circle, 1/4 inch thick. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill the dough while you put together the strawberry filling.

Strawberry Filling

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the strawberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, sugar, Kosher salt, and ground cinnamon until combined.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the chilled dough circle in the middle of the lined baking sheet
Brush the pastry crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle evenly with Demerara baking sugar.
Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes until golden. When it's done, allow cooling before serving, allowing the filling to firm up before slicing. Enjoy alone or with vanilla whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream!

Notes

You can take a shortcut with this recipe and get frozen pastry crust but I highly recommend my recipe for Double Pie Crust which I include. The Strawberry Galette recipe uses half of the Double Pie Crust recipe, so you can save the other half for another Strawberry Galette or other fruit galette.
