Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Begin by *creaming the butter* with sugar until well combined. Add the baking powder to the flour. Blend the butter mixture with the flour to form a crumbly texture. Add kefir or yogurt to the mix and knead until you form a soft dough.

Step 2

Prepare the Strawberry Layer

Cut the strawberries into pieces. Add sugar or sweetener, cornstarch, and agar agar (if using) to the strawberries. *Mix everything thoroughly* to ensure an even coating.

Step 3

Roll Out the Dough

Roll the dough into a circle about 2 millimeters (0.1 inches) thick. Evenly spread the strawberry filling over the dough, leaving a *2 to 3 centimeters (1 inch)* border. Fold the edges over the filling.

Step 4

Bake the Galette

Preheat your oven to 200-210 degrees Celsius (390-410 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the galette for approximately 20 minutes.

Step 5

Let it Set

Allow the filling to set after baking. Once completely cooled, it will thicken and no longer be runny.

Servings

Serving up this aromatic strawberry galette is all about *presentation* and creating an experience. 🌼

For Brunch: Imagine serving this galette warm from the oven alongside whipped cream or vanilla ice cream at a Sunday brunch. Your guests will be swooning over the **juicy strawberries** and flaky crust. 🍦

Tea Time Twist: Pair a slice with a cup of Earl Grey or chamomile tea. The subtle floral notes complement the fruitiness of the galette perfectly. ☕

Variations

Gluten-Free: Substituting your favorite gluten-free flour blend for regular wheat flour will work wonders. Just ensure to add an extra tablespoon of your preferred flour to maintain the right texture. 🌾✨

Vegan: Swap out the butter for coconut oil or vegan margarine, and use a plant-based yogurt instead of kefir. You've got a vegan version that doesn't compromise on taste! 🥥

These tweaks maintain the galette’s signature flaky crust while allowing everyone to enjoy this heavenly dessert. 💚

Faq

How do I prevent the galette from becoming soggy?
Ensure the strawberries are not too watery. Tossing them with cornstarch helps to absorb excess moisture and thicken the filling.
Can I substitute the strawberries with other fruits?
Absolutely! Try this recipe with blueberries, peaches, or apples for a delightful twist.
How can I make sure the crust is perfectly flaky?
Keep the butter cold and mix quickly to avoid it melting into the flour. Chilling the dough prior to baking helps in getting that perfect flaky crust.
Should the dough be made ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough up to two days in advance. Just wrap it tightly and refrigerate until you’re ready to use it.
What's the best way to store leftover galette?
Cover it with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
How can I make the galette look more professional?
Before baking, brush the crust with a little milk or an egg wash and sprinkle with sugar for a beautiful golden sheen. ✨
