Instructions
1. Prepare the filling:
Preheat oven to 250° F / 120° C. Rinse and hull 1.5 pounds of strawberries. Leave any tiny ones whole and cut or quarter the rest to make them all look the same size. In a shallow baking pan, gently toss strawberries with 4 tablespoons maple syrup, vanilla bean seeds, and salt. Spread it out in a single layer. Roast for 2 to 2.5 hours, uncovered, until the berries are jammy and the juices have reduced to a syrup. Lastly, mash coarsely and let cool completely.
2. Make the crust:
In a food processor, combine the flour, vanilla bean seeds, and salt. Then pulse to combine. Add almond paste and vanilla bean ghee and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. In a small mixing bowl, combine the egg, almond extract, vodka, and 1 tablespoon water. Drizzle it over the flour mixture. Pulse until the mixture just begins to hold together. If the dough is too dry, add 2 tablespoons more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse. Gather dough into a ball. Roll out the dough to a 13′′ by 16′′ oval, 1/4 inch thick, on parchment paper lightly floured with tapioca starch. Don’t be concerned if the dough tears. Just patch it up and keep going. Then, transfer dough and parchment to a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or as long as overnight.
3. Assemble the galette:
Preheat oven to 375° F / 190° C. Combine almond flour and tapioca starch in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Spread the roasted strawberry mixture on top. Thinly slice 1 pound of strawberries, reserving end pieces for another use. Arrange decoratively on top of the roasted strawberry mixture. Fold in edges, patching up any tears. Brush berries with 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (depending on the sweetness of your strawberries) mixed in with melted vanilla bean ghee. Whisk egg yolk with coconut milk; brush over the edges of the galette. Sprinkle the entire surface of the galette with 2-3 tablespoons of coconut sugar. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden. Lastly, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
