Yield Makes one 9-inch square tart

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups strawberries (about 3 pounds), hulled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pâte Brisée (page 322)
1 large egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine strawberries and granulated sugar, and let stand 1 hour. Drain, discarding liquid. Add cornstarch to berries, and stir to combine.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to an 11-inch square. Fit into a 9-inch square fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing dough gently into sides. Trim dough flush with rim. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Roll out remaining disk of dough to an 11-inch square. Using aspic cutters, cut out shapes in a bandanna pattern (keeping at least a 2-inch border). Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread strawberry mixture over shell. Carefully place remaining chilled dough over filling. Trim any overhang.
  • Whisk together egg and water, and brush over top dough. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate or freeze tart until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Place on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, and bake 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°F. Bake until filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes more. (If crust browns too quickly, tent with foil.) Transfer tart to a wire rack to cool completely before unmolding. Cut into squares, and serve.
