Instructions
Step 1
Start by cutting the *cold butter* into cubes. Scatter it evenly on a large cutting board, followed by the *flour* and a pinch of *salt*. Optionally, you can add dried or fresh herbs like oregano or rosemary.
Using a knife, chop the butter and flour together until they form pea-sized pieces. In a bowl, whisk the *egg* and *cold water* together, then drizzle over the flour mixture until moistened. Quickly gather the dough into a ball without kneading. If the dough is not coming together, add a bit more water.
Your goal is to ensure all the flour is evenly moistened without melting the butter chunks. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Step 2
Slice the *onion* into half-moons. In a skillet, heat both *butter and olive oil*, then begin sautéing the onion over medium heat. Stir occasionally.
Once the onion is golden, reduce the heat, add salt and *sugar*, and allow it to caramelize for about 10-15 minutes until brown.
Step 3
Meanwhile, cut the *pumpkin* into small pieces. Add it to the caramelized onions, season with salt and pepper, pour in the *wine*, cover, and stew for 10-15 minutes until done.
Step 4
When the filling is ready, take the dough out of the refrigerator. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle, dusting with flour. Wrap it around a rolling pin and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Place the prepared pumpkin and onions in the center, grate the cheese on top, leaving a 5-7 cm (about 2-3 inches) border.
Fold the edges up to form a crust border. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown.
Servings
Enjoy your pumpkin galette warm from the oven, its aromas filling the room like a comforting autumn breeze. **For a gourmet touch**, consider serving it with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream - the creaminess complements the spicy notes beautifully. 🍨

Variations
**🌿 Going Gluten-Free**: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend designed for baking. Keep the dough cold and handle minimally to ensure the best texture.
**🌱 Vegan Delight**: Replace the butter with a plant-based butter substitute and the egg with a flax or chia egg (1 tablespoon ground flax/chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water). **Ensure the cheese is vegan** by opting for plant-based cheese alternatives. 🧀
These alternatives not only cater to dietary needs but also deliver flavors and textures that are bound to satisfy your taste buds! Happy baking! 🥧
Faq
- How do I avoid a soggy bottom on my galette?
For a crispy, well-baked base, make sure your filling isn't too wet. Cook the pumpkin and onion mixture until most of the moisture evaporates, and let it cool before assembling.
- Can I use store-bought pastry dough?
Absolutely! Store-bought dough can save time. Just follow the package instructions and allow it to come to room temperature before rolling out.
- How can I achieve a perfectly flaky crust?
Keep all your ingredients cold, especially the butter, and mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing can toughen the crust.
- What wines pair best with this galette?
A rich Chardonnay or a light Pinot Noir can complement the flavors beautifully, enhancing your culinary experience.
- How do I prevent the crust from becoming too brown?
If you see the edges browning too quickly, cover them lightly with foil and continue baking. This technique will protect them while allowing the filling to cook.
- Can I prepare the filling ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the filling a day in advance. Store it in the refrigerator, and let it reach room temperature before assembling the galette to ensure even baking.
