Introduce Edd Kimber, the guest baker.

Edd explains the recipe for a strawberry cornmeal galette, emphasizing its rustic nature.

Edd discusses the benefits of using a scale over measuring cups for accuracy.

Add butter to the flour and toss to coat.

Use a pastry blender to incorporate the butter into the flour until it resembles a crumbly texture.

Add about 4 teaspoons of water and stir with a knife to avoid overworking the gluten.

Bring the mixture together with hands until it forms a uniform dough, then shape it into a round.

Chill the dough in the fridge until firm enough to roll out.

Slice 500 grams of strawberries and add them to a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the strawberries.

Sprinkle corn flour (cornstarch) over the strawberries to absorb moisture, then mix gently and let sit for a few minutes.

Roll out the chilled dough, turning it a quarter turn after each roll to maintain a round shape.

Sprinkle 100 grams of ground almonds on the pastry to absorb moisture from the strawberries.

Layer the strawberries evenly on top of the ground almonds.

Fold the edges of the pastry over the strawberries, creating a rustic crimped edge.

Prepare an egg wash by whisking 1 egg and brush it over the pastry.

Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the pastry for sweetness and texture.

Bake the galette in the oven for about 30 minutes, checking for a golden color on the pastry.
