Strawberry Balsamic Galette
I've adapted this recipe from honey & jam. Use good quality balsamic vinegar in this recipe. It really does make a difference in the final taste. For a bit more spice, sprinkle the galette with some freshly ground black pepper.

- Difficulty: Basic
For the crust:
Ingredients
- 180g whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- pinch of salt
- 100g cold butter, diced
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1-2 tablespoons ice cold water
Directions
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, icing sugar, and salt and pulse to combine. Add butter, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream and pulse again. The dough should start coming together. Add 1 tablespoon of ice water and process just until the dough holds together without being wet or sticky. Do not process for more than 30 seconds. If it is still too crumbly, add a bit more water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and shape it into a flattened disk. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
For the strawberry balsamic filling:
Ingredients
- 250g strawberries, cut into quarters
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground almonds
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Directions
Toss strawberries in a bowl with balsamic vinegar and honey. Let sit for 1 hour or more.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough to 3mm thick circle. Lay the dough flat onto the prepared baking sheet. Strain strawberries, reserving the honey balsamic liquid. Combine sugar and ground almonds and sprinkle around the center of the dough, leaving a 5cm border. Arrange strawberries on top of the dough, then fold the dough over, overlapping where necessary. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 45 minutes. Serve warm with honey balsamic sauce and a dollop of whipped cream.
For the honey balsamic sauce:
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- reserved honey balsamic liquid
Directions
Place the remaining honey balsamic liquid in a small saucepan, adding 1 more tablespoon of balsamic and 2 more tablespoons of honey. Boil until sticky and thickened.
