Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Seasonal Ingredients: It’s strawberry season right now so this is a delicious dessert to make while strawberries are in season and flavorful! You can also use somewhat soft strawberries that are not ideal to eat for this strawberry filling. This type of fruit is great for pies and helps prevent food waste.
Eggless Pie: I love this galette without eggs because I use my signature honey and water pie wash on top of the flaky crust. This makes the crust super golden brown and it gives it a little sweetness that pairs so well with the crunch of the turbinado sugar and the sweet strawberries.
Easy: I actually prefer to make a homemade galette over pie because they are easier than pie and more rustic! Little secret, the crust also gets crispier as it bakes right on the baking sheet versus in a pie pan.
Organic Galette: While you can buy strawberry pie at the grocery store this time of year, you will get a better tasting pie when you make it at home! Using organic ingredients will result in a tastier strawberry pie that also is better for you!

This Strawberry Honey Galette has all the flavors of summer with fresh seasonal strawberries and raw honey. This galette without eggs uses my favorite pie wash, which is just equal parts honey and water. The honey ensures a golden brown pie crust every time and it gives the crust a sweetness I’m completely obsessed with!

If you love sweet and flaky pie crust, check out some of my other favorite pies that use this pie wash. Blueberry Slab Pie Without Eggs, Brown Sugar Honey Apple Pie, Honey Lemon Apple Pie and Orange Blossom Honey Apple Pie all use this honey pie wash!

Ingredients

Strawberries: You can use fresh or frozen organic strawberries. If you’re using frozen strawberries, you should defrost them in the fridge overnight and strain off the liquid before using. Check out Can You Make Pie with Frozen Fruit? for more info!
Raw Honey: I use organic raw honey inside the filling and in the pie wash. The honey inside the filling gives this a lighter taste and also allows me to use less cane sugar in this galette. The mixture of honey and water is what makes this galette without eggs so damn good!
Cornstarch: I use organic cornstarch to help thicken the filling so juices don’t run out. If you don't want to use cornstarch, you can use tapioca, arrowroot or potato starch in its place.
Cinnamon: This eggless galette is lightly spiced with a bit of cinnamon, my favorite is organic Korintje Cinnamon which has a distinct flavor. But, you can use any cinnamon you like. Check out my post Best Cinnamon to Bake With.
Turbinado Sugar: I use organic turbinado sugar to give the crust a little saprkle and crunch. Turbinado sugar is just raw sugar. If you don't have this, you can leave it off too. But, don't use cane sugar here as it's not the same thing and will just melt into the crust in the oven, which is why the larger crystals of turbinado sugar are key if you want the pie crust to have that texture.

Easy Substitutions

Feel free to swap the strawberries for any other berries such as raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
You can use egg or milk on top of the pie dough in place of the honey and water if you prefer.
If you’re using unsalted butter, just add ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt to the dough.

Baker’s Tips

Always weigh ingredients for the best results.
Make sure your butter is cold for the pie crust. Visit my post How to Make Pie Crust in a Mixer for all the tips and tricks for flaky pie crust if you are new to baking.
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen, be sure to thaw in the fridge overnight and then be sure to drain off all the excess liquid.
Pies are great for using up bruised or soft fruit. So, if you have strawberries that are not quite as good, then use them for this galette!

High Altitude — Bake at 400°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

How to Make Eggless Strawberry Honey Galette

flour, sugar and chopped butter in the bowl of a stand mixer on a white marble counter.

To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour and cane sugar. Remove butter from the fridge and chop into small cubes, the smaller your cubes are the flakier your crust. I recommend at least cutting the sticks of butter into 4 and then chop into small cubes from there. Add the cold cubed butter to the stand mixer bowl with the flour mixture. Measure out cold water and have ready.

Recipe FAQ’s

What is the difference between a galette and a pie?

The only difference between a galette and a pie is that there is no pie pan used. The pie crust is exactly the same and the fillings can also be the same. A pie just as the crust formed into the pie pan while with a galette, the pie crust is just put onto a baking sheet instead. Some pies have a top crust (some don't) while galettes typically don't have a top crust and the filling is just open.

Why is a galette easier than making a pie?

A galette is much easier than a pie, so if you're new to baking pie, this is a great recipe to start with! Because there's no pie pan, there's no forming of the crust to the pie pan, fluting

What makes homemade galettes taste better than store-bought pies?

A galette is just a pie without the pie pan. So, it's faster because you just roll out the pie crust and place it on a baking sheet. No forming to a pie pan, no fluting crust or making vents. Because galettes also bake directly on the baking sheet, they can get more crisp and flaky than a pie that's baked in a pie pan.

Can I use unsalted butter?

Yes, just add ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt to the recipe.

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh strawberries?

Yes, you just need to thaw them in the fridge for 24 hours, then strain off excess liquid before using.

Why do you use honey in the filling?

The honey is one of this recipe's signature ingredients. It enhances the strawberries while allowing us to use less sugar.

How do you make a golden pie crust without eggs?

My favorite way to get a golden brown pie crust without egg wash is using a mixture of honey and water, like I do here. You just need to mix together honey and water using a 1:1 ratio. Microwave the honey and water together for about 20 seconds, just long enough to melt the honey so it combines with the water. Then, brush it on top of pie crust, just like you would egg wash. This gives you a slightly sweet crust and crisps up perfectly and makes an incredibly golden brown crust! You can also use heavy cream or milk in place of the honey pie wash for another eggless option!

What makes a honey pie wash better than an egg wash?

I prefer my honey pie wash to eggs for many reasons. The first is the crust will actually get more golden brown than with eggs! So, if you like a really golden brown crust, this is a better option. Second, it adds a slightly sweet flavor that pairs so well with the buttery, flaky pie crust. And, you don't need to waste a whole egg, just to use some of it on a pie crust, so it reduces food waste.

Why is my galette leaking juice?

If you skipped the cornstarch and flour, then the fruit filling won't solidify and it will leak when sliced. Also, if you don't let it cool completely before slicing, the warm filling will leak out.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, just be sure to store in a cool, dry place. Don’t put under a cake dome as it will become soggy.

How do you reheat pie?

You can place leftover pie pieces or the whole galette into an air fryer, toaster oven, or oven on a warm setting or at 350°F. Heat for about 5 to 10 minutes or until warm and crust is crisp. Never reheat pie in a microwave as it will make the crust soggy.
