Why use buckwheat flour and coconut oil for the crust?

Buckwheat flour provides a unique, rustic texture, while solid coconut oil is cut into the flour to create a flaky, tender vegan crust for this galette.

Why is it important to chill the flour and coconut oil?

Chilling the flour and coconut oil helps keep the fat solid, which is crucial for achieving a flaky, tender crust when you cut the oil into the flour with a fork or pastry cutter.

Can I use frozen strawberries for the filling?

The recipe specifies fresh, halved strawberries. If using frozen, ensure they are thoroughly thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture from making the galette soggy.

What if my dough is too dry or too sticky?

The recipe notes you might need slightly more or less than 4 tablespoons of cold water. Add water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just starts to stick together and can be pressed into a ball.

How should I store leftover Chocolate and Strawberry Galette?

Store any leftover galette in an airtight container at room temperature for a day, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently for best enjoyment.
