Easy Strawberry Galette

From the Blog Author

This Easy Strawberry Galette is one of my favorites because it turns a simple pie crust into a show‑stopping dessert that feels like a backyard picnic. I love how the buttery, flaky dough wraps around bright, juicy strawberries, making every bite a little escape from the ordinary. What I love most is the contrast of textures: the crisp, caramelized edges against the tender, sugared berries. A splash of lemon zest and a dusting of powdered sugar give it that fresh, summertime spark that I can’t resist sharing. Even on a busy weeknight, the assembly is so quick—I just toss the fruit on a pre‑baked base and watch it turn into a golden‑brown miracle in minutes. A tip that saves me time: chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping. It becomes easier to handle, stays flaky, and the result looks pristine. And if you’re worried about crispiness, sprinkle a light coat of cornstarch on the fruit before baking; it keeps the berries from slipping and boosts the golden color. If you try this galette, I’d love to hear how it turned out for you. Send me a quick note when you’re done, and let me know whether it stuck to your heart like mine did.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store leftovers of this Easy Strawberry Galette?

For best results, store the cooled strawberry galette in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Avoid refrigeration if possible, as the moisture can make the puff pastry soggy. If you must refrigerate, let it come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Can I make the strawberry filling for this galette ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the strawberry filling mixture (strawberries, sugars, cornstarch, zest, etc.) up to 12 hours in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator, but remember to drain off any excess liquid that accumulates before assembling the galette onto the puff pastry.

What is the best way to reheat a leftover strawberry galette?

The ideal way to reheat this galette is in a conventional oven or toaster oven to re-crisp the puff pastry. Place slices on a baking sheet and heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and the crust is flaky again.
