Ingredients

For the Dough

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

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

Roll Out the Dough

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

Assemble the Galette

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 the Galette

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

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.
