Ingredients
For the Dough









For the Filling








Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine sifted flour, spices, and butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in ice water, mixing briefly. You do not need to overmix; just bring the dough together into a ball.
Place the dough ball into a ziplock bag and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
Step 2
After chilling, roll out the dough very thinly. This is best done between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Once rolled out, transfer the dough to a baking sheet, ensuring it is in a circular shape.
Step 3
Spread your chosen filling (sliced tomato and feta cheese) evenly over the dough, leaving about 2 inches of border around the edges.
Optionally, add more cheese if using blue cheese, then fold the edges of the galette over the filling.
Brush the edges with a beaten egg yolk for a golden finish.
Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.
Once baked, let the galette cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil.
Step 5
This galette is delicious warm or at room temperature! Enjoy it as a snack or appetizer, and share with friends and family!

Equipment
A sturdy mixing bowl will help you combine the ingredients easily. Ensure it's large enough to hold the dough as it comes together.



A smooth rolling pin is essential for rolling out your dough evenly. If you don’t have one, a wine bottle can work in a pinch!



Your trusty baking sheet will catch all the deliciousness as the galette bakes. Line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.



Using a pastry brush adds a beautiful golden sheen to your galette when you brush on the egg yolk. Get one that's easy to hold for the best results!
Variations
Faq
- Can I make this dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or in the freezer for a month. Just remember to let it thaw in the fridge before rolling it out.
- What type of tomatoes work best?
Fresh, ripe tomatoes are key to this recipe! Heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes bring the best flavor. You can also use cherry tomatoes for a sweeter bite!
- I’m having trouble getting my dough flaky. What can I do?
Make sure your butter is very cold before mixing. Consider incorporating some ice water gradually and avoid overworking the dough to maintain that flakiness!
- How can I enhance the flavor of my galette?
Adding herbs like thyme or rosemary can elevate the dish! You can also consider using a mix of cheeses for more depth of flavor.
- What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best taste, reheat in the oven to restore the crispiness!
- Can I add additional fillings?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in sautéed vegetables or even olives for a Mediterranean twist. Just be careful not to add too much moisture.
