1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

   In a large bowl, combine strawberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, salt, and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll it into a 12-inch diameter circle.

4. 4

   Transfer the puff pastry to your prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the oats over the middle of the round, leaving a two-inch border.

5. 5

   Spoon the strawberry mixture onto the pastry, continuing to leave a 2-inch border around the edges.

6. 6

   Fold the edges of the pastry over the strawberries, overlapping as you go.

7. 7

   Beat together the egg and water and brush the mixture over the folded edges of the pastry.

8. 8

   Adjust the temperature to 425°F, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the strawberries are bubbly.

9. 9

   Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
