2. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface, forming a large circle, roughly 30cm in diameter. Place the dough round on a lined baking tray and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Place the strawberries, orange juice, zest and remaining coconut sugar in a large bowl. Mix to combine. Remove pastry from refrigerator and sprinkle almond meal over the top, leaving a 3cm border. Top with strawberry mixture and firmly fold over edges. Brush with egg.
4. Cook for 45 minutes or until the pastry is cooked and golden. Serve immediately.
