Instructions

  • Make the galette dough first. Put the all-purpose flour and salt in a large bowl and mix them together with a whisk.
  • Mix the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture. Cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs with butter pieces about the size of peas.

 

  • One tablespoon at a time, add the ice water to the flour and butter mixture and mix it in gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to work the dough too much.
  • Roll the dough into a disc, cover it with plastic wrap, and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This will help it chill and get firm.

 

  • Warm the oven up to 190°C (375°F). Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and set it aside.
  • Set the filling ingredients aside while the dough chills. Cut the mozzarella cheese and tomatoes into thin slices. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh basil.

 

  • Take the dough out of the fridge and place it on a lightly floured surface after it has chilled. The dough should be rolled out into a circle that is about 12 inches across and 1/8 inch thick.
  • Place the rolled-out dough on the baking sheet that has been prepared.

 

  • Cut the tomatoes into thin slices and place them in the middle of the dough. Leave about 2 inches of space around the edges.
  • Pour the olive oil over the mozzarella and tomatoes. Next, add the chopped fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. To taste, add salt and black pepper.

 

  • Fold the dough’s edges over the filling slowly, pleating them as you go to make a rough border.
  • After beating the egg, brush the edges of the galette dough with it to make a golden crust when you bake it.

 

  • The tomato and mozzarella galette should be baked in a hot oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and slightly caramelised.
  • Get the galette out of the oven when it’s done and let it cool a bit on the baking sheet.

 

  • If you want to add some extra colour and freshness, you can decorate the galette with more fresh basil leaves.
  • You can serve the galette warm or at room temperature as a tasty starter, side dish, or light meal by cutting it into wedges.

 

Tips and Variations

  • For a beautiful presentation, use tomatoes of different sizes and colours.
  • To make the filling taste better, add roasted garlic or thinly sliced red onion.

 

  • Try adding different kinds of cheese, like fontina or goat cheese, for a unique twist.
  • For a full meal, pair the galette with a light vinaigrette-dressed side salad.

 

  • If you have extra galette, you can keep it in the fridge for up to two days in an airtight container.
  • Warm it up again in an oven that has already been heated until it’s ready to serve.
