On a lightly floured surface, unroll the puff pastry sheet and roll it into a 12-inch diameter circle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store leftovers of this Easy Strawberry Galette?
For best results, store the cooled strawberry galette in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Avoid refrigeration if possible, as the moisture can make the puff pastry soggy. If you must refrigerate, let it come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Can I make the strawberry filling for this galette ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the strawberry filling mixture (strawberries, sugars, cornstarch, zest, etc.) up to 12 hours in advance. Keep it covered in the refrigerator, but remember to drain off any excess liquid that accumulates before assembling the galette onto the puff pastry.
What is the best way to reheat a leftover strawberry galette?
The ideal way to reheat this galette is in a conventional oven or toaster oven to re-crisp the puff pastry. Place slices on a baking sheet and heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and the crust is flaky again.
