Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 68 tbsp ice water
  • 6 cups (900g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tsp rose water
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for sprinkling on crust)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and rose water. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough to fit your pie dish. Carefully transfer it to the dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess dough.
  4. Fill the pie: Pour the strawberry mixture into the crust, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Create the lattice crust: Roll out the second dough disc and cut it into strips. Arrange the strips over the filling in a lattice pattern, trimming and pinching the edges to seal.
  6. Add finishing touches: Brush the lattice with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  8. Cool: Let the pie cool completely on a rack before serving. This helps the filling set.

Notes

Chill the dough to ensure a flaky crust. Adjust the rose water to taste, and allow the pie to cool completely before slicing to help the filling set.
