Instructions
Make the Crust
Place the flour and salt in the food processor and pulse a few times to blend
Add the frozen butter cubes to the food processor and pulse until you have a fine meal texture. About 5-6 pulses then dump the mixture into a medium sized mixing bowl
Add the cider vinegar and ¼ cup ice cold water then mix with a fork
Continue adding ice water by the tablespoon full, mixing in between each addition until crust just starts to come together to form a ball. It will look shaggy
Roll it into a ball then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 48 hours. DO NOT SKIP THE REFRIGERATION
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 14-16 inch circle. Be sure to lightly flour your hands and the rolling pin as well
Carefully transfer the dough onto the parchment lined baking sheet
Mix and add the filling
Add the strawberries, sugar, jam, corn starch, salt, lemon zest and lemon juice to a medium sized mixing bowl and mix until well combined
Pour the mixture, juice and all, onto the middle of the rolled out pie crust. Spread the filling evenly, leaving about a 1 inch edge around the outside
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the top of the filling
Fold up the sides of the dough about an inch all the way around the galette
Beat the egg and brush the crust with the egg wash. Sprinkle with demerara sugar over the egg washed crust
Chill and bake the Strawberry Galette
Place the galette in the fridge to chill for 15-20 minutes
Remove the galette from the fridge and bake it for 45 minutes. The crust will become a medium - dark brown color in some spots. It is not burnt.
Let the galette cool slightly and serve. Slightly warm or room temp is fine
