Strawberries and champagne.

Every time I think about strawberries and champagne, I think about Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman sitting on the floor of the hotel, watching I Love Lucy and laughing her butt off.

The combination of strawberries and champagne is one of those classic, elegant pairings that you generally get to experience at least once in your life.

If you haven’t enjoyed strawberries and champagne, you have only one job to complete for the rest of the day. Go to the store, get champagne, procure strawberries. Then go home and enjoy the amazing bubbly and fruity flavors that explode on your palate. 

Seriously, this is one of those flavor profiles you need to know because you will love it. I don’t care how girly it is. You guys will love it too 😉

The last time I enjoyed strawberries and champagne, I decided that I had to take the combination out of the glass and throw it into a dessert already.

So, just in time for the upcoming Spring and Easter festivities, a boozy, fruity, and bubbly jam was born…

That’s right, I FINALLY made my own jam! I’ve been struggling with a jam idea for several months now, and the homemade strawberry mint champagne jam you find in this galette was the one to win my heart over.

It’s sweet, minty and fruity, just like you want the inside of a pie to taste.

But what’s a galette (or any pie/pastry) without the dough? This galette crust is one that I have been using over and over again (like this savory chicken caprese galette and this peach and blueberry galette!). It’s simple, straightforward and NEVER fails me. I’m serious when I say that. This crust will always come out perfectly, with a crisp outside to hold the galette filling and yet still a little soft and buttery on the inside to pair well with the fruity, sweet flavors.

When I make this galette crust, I like to attribute some of the success to my favorite flour EVER – Bob’s Red Mill Organic All Purpose Unbleached White Flour. Their flour is made from high quality wheat and it makes the crust dough nice and fluffy.

It’s the only flour you ever need to have in your pantry, and it’s my go-to source for wheat flour too! If you want to master all those spring and summer baking recipes you have on your bucket list, this flour is the one that will help you survive and master every single recipe, trust me.
