  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into rectangles to form the pop tart crust.
  8. In another bowl, mix quartered strawberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to create the filling.
  9. Place filling in the center of half of the dough rectangles.
  10. Top with the remaining rectangles and seal the edges with a fork.
  11. Beat the large egg with water and brush over the tops of the pop tarts.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
