Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and sugar until well combined. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each piece into two rectangles. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the strawberry filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. Let cool completely.
Assembly and Baking
- Roll out one rectangle of dough on a flour-dusted surface to fit a 13×9 baking pan. Place in the pan and spread the cooled strawberry jam over the dough.
- Roll out the second rectangle of dough and lay over the jam. Seal the edges and make slits for steam to escape.
- Brush the top with egg wash.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool completely, then optionally drizzle a glaze made from powdered sugar and water.
Notes
Keep butter and water ice-cold to maintain flakiness. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness.
