Make this simple strawberry galette for a quick, no-fuss summer dessert. This free-form tart uses everyday ingredients and is perfect for beginner bakers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (or your favorite simple pastry dough)
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Unroll one pie crust onto the prepared baking sheet. If using frozen dough, let it thaw according to package directions first.
  4. Spoon the strawberry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border clear around the edges.
  5. Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, overlapping the dough slightly to create a rustic, free-form crust. Do not worry about making the edges perfect.
  6. Brush the folded crust edges with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle the coarse sugar over the crust.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the strawberry galette cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the filling set.

Notes

  • To prevent a soggy bottom, ensure your cornstarch is evenly mixed with the fruit to absorb excess liquid during baking.
  • If your strawberries are very large, slice them thinner so they cook evenly.
  • This recipe works well with other seasonal berries if you want a quick summer berry dessert variation.
