Sheet Pan Strawberry Pastry Tart
This Sheet Pan Strawberry Pastry Tart is inspired by classic toaster pastries but made from scratch with a buttery, flaky crust, sweet strawberry filling, and a bright pink glaze. The Ankarsrum Assistent makes quick work of the pastry dough, gently cutting the butter into the flour and mixing the dough without overworking it, resulting in a tender, bakery-style crust that’s perfect for weekend brunches, special breakfasts, or whenever you’re craving a homemade treat that feels a little extra special.
For the Crust
-
Assemble the Ankarsrum Assistent with the Stainless Steel Bowl and Premium Cookie Beaters.
-
Add the flour, sugar, and salt to the bowl. Mix on low speed (1 o’clock) until combined.
-
Add the butter and mix on medium speed (4–6 o’clock) for 1–2 minutes, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Reduce to low speed (1 o’clock) and slowly drizzle in the ice water. Mix for about 1 minute, adding more water if needed, until the dough holds together when pressed.
-
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently form it into a rectangle. Divide in half, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
For the Filling
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt.
-
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until the strawberries have softened and the mixture has thickened.
-
Mash the strawberries until mostly smooth with no large pieces remaining. Remove from the heat.
-
Transfer about 1 cup of the filling to a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl. Press firmly to extract ¼ cup of strawberry syrup for the glaze. Return the strawberry pulp to the filling and let it cool completely.
For Assembly and Baking
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll one piece of dough into a 12 x 18-inch rectangle. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Dock the dough all over with a fork.
-
Spread the cooled strawberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Brush the border with egg wash.
-
Roll the second piece of dough into a similar rectangle and dock with a fork. Carefully place it over the filling. Trim and align the edges, then crimp with a fork to seal.
-
Brush the top with egg wash and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
-
Bake for 18–20 minutes, until lightly golden all over. Cool completely before glazing.
For the Glaze
-
Assemble the Ankarsrum Assistent with the Stainless Steel Bowl and Balloon Whisks.
-
Add the icing sugar, reserved strawberry syrup, milk, and salt. Mix on medium-high speed (6–8 o’clock) until smooth and pourable.
-
Spread the glaze over the cooled tart and finish with rainbow sprinkles.
-
Slice into 9–12 rectangles and serve.
Notes
-
Cool the filling completely before assembling the tart. Warm filling can soften the dough and make the tart difficult to handle.
-
If the dough becomes soft while rolling or assembling, refrigerate it for 10–15 minutes before continuing.
-
Store covered at room temperature for up to 1 day or refrigerated for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
-
The crust can be made with the plastic Beater Bowl and Cookie Beaters or the Dough Roller. Please adjust to using room-temperature butter, not cold butter.
