Rustic Strawberry Almond Galette

Meet the perfect Rustic Strawberry Almond Galette for any and all occasions. At first glance, this galette may look like every other galette you’ve had, but it has a secret. Between the jammy strawberries and flaky pastry is a bonus layer of almond and spice base you didn’t know you needed until now. This base does double duty here – it prevents the pastry from getting soggy and also makes a nice contrast to the bubbling fruit filling. Perfection.

This strawberry galette is so simple that you can make it within the hour. Mix the dry ingredients, then add in the butter until it’s in a small pea-size. Add in the egg, lemon juice, and iced water and pulse until just combined. Pour the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball. The dough is easy to work with, and you can roll it right away without having to chill it. Toss the strawberries with lemon juice and prepare the almond base. Assemble the galette, then brush the crust with an egg wash and sprinkle with crushed pistachios. Bake until the crust is golden brown. Serve with a side of ice cream.

To make the Rustic Strawberry Almond Galette, you will need the following ingredients:
