Strawberry Compote Galette Recipe

Step 1: To begin making Strawberry Compote Galette, we will first have to get the pie dough ready and refrigerate it for a couple of hours

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, sieve out the flour, salt and sugar

Step 3: Add the cold and cubed unsalted butter into the floor

Step 4: You can make this dough in the food processor as well

Step 5: Work the butter into the flour with your fingers until the mixture resembles a coarse meal

Step 6: When you hold the flour together, it should hold tight and when you let it loose, it will fall apart

Step 7: With a knife, pastry cutter or your hands, cut the butter into the flour

Step 8: The texture should be as that of coarse breadcrumbs

Step 9: Don't worry if there are chunks of butter, it ll just make the pastry flakier when it bakes

Step 10: Sprinkle ice water onto the flour and butter mixture

Step 11: Using your hands push the dough from the sides to the middle of the bowl to form a ball that holds together

Step 12: Do not knead the dough

Step 13: Make sure to add little water at a time, as the heat from your hands will melt the butter and help form the dough as well

Step 14: You can transfer the pie dough on to a work surface and knead the dough until all the flour has come together to form a smooth dough

Step 15: Once done, wrap the dough in a cling film or a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a couple of hours

Step 16: This refrigeration process helps to give the pie crust a flaky texture

Step 17: As the dough rests, preheat oven to 200C

Step 18: To make the filling:Slice the strawberries into 1/4 cm thick slices

Step 19: Add the caster sugar, cornflour ,and vanilla essence into the strawberry and mix well

Step 20: On a piece of parchment paper, sprinkle some flour, roll out the dough to a circle around 9 to10 inches in size and 1/4 inch thick

Step 21: Add the strawberry filling in the centre, spread the filling at least 2 inches away from the edge of the dough

Step 22: Fold the edges over, or you can also pleat the edges of the dough to make it decorative

Step 23: Make sure fruit in the centre is still exposed

Step 24: Transfer the parchment to your baking tray

Step 25: Brush the beaten egg or milk over the dough

Step 26: Sieve some caster sugar over the dough and fruit

Step 27: Bake for 35 -45 mins at 200 C / 400 F until pastry is golden brown

Step 28: Serve Strawberry Compote Galette along with Chicken Crepe Lasagne Recipe and Roasted Tomato And Pumpkin Soup Recipe to make it a beautiful Sunday lunch
