Strawberry Basil Galette
🇫🇷 France
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (170g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup (50-78ml) ice-cold water
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 7-8 fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced (about 1 1/2 lb)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
Steps
- Whisk together flour and salt in a large bowl. Add cold cubed butter and work into the flour with fingertips or a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small bits of butter visible.
- Gradually add ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing just until dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate at least 20-30 minutes.
- Toss strawberries with sugar in a bowl; set aside.
- Mix ground almond meal with chopped basil in a small bowl until well combined.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a rough 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. If dough is too firm, let sit 5-10 minutes to soften before rolling.
- Sprinkle basil-almond mixture over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Arrange strawberry mixture in an even layer over the almond mixture.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit, pleating as you go. Smooth any cracks with wet fingers.
- Whisk egg yolk with milk and brush over the dough edges.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, until crust is golden and fruit is bubbling.
- Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
