Faq

  • Why is my dough too crumbly or too sticky?

    Achieving the perfect dough consistency can be tricky. If it’s too crumbly, add a teaspoon of ice water at a time until it comes together. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour and gently mix.

  • Can I use other types of cheese instead of feta?

    Absolutely! While feta provides a strong, tangy flavor, you can sub in other cheeses like goat cheese or mozzarella, depending on your preference.

  • How thin should I roll out the dough?

    Aim for about 1/8 inch thick. This ensures a crisp, flaky texture without being too dense. Using parchment paper helps in rolling it out evenly.

  • What’s the best way to prevent the bottom of the galette from becoming soggy?

    Ensure your tomato slices are not too watery. Pat them dry with paper towels before adding them to the galette. Baking the galette on a preheated baking sheet can also help.

  • Can I make the dough or the entire galette ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. You can also assemble the galette and freeze it unbaked. When ready to bake, add a few extra minutes to the baking time.

  • What other herbs could I use instead of Herbes de Provence?

    Tried and true alternatives include Italian seasoning or a mix of dried thyme, rosemary, and oregano for a fresh flavor twist.
