Tomato Galette
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 8 oz (approximately 16 Tbs.) unsalted butter, cut into ½" pieces and chilled
- ½ tsp salt
- 5 oz (approximately ⅔ cup) ice water
- 3 heirloom tomatoes, sliced about ¼ inch rounds
- ½ bunch sweet Italian basil
- ½ tbs olive oil
- salt and pepper
- mozzarella or your favorite cheese
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt and sugar. Cut in the chilled butter using a stand mixer, a food processor, or a pastry blender until the butter is evenly distributed but still in large, visible pieces.
- Add the ice water all at once to the flour and butter. Mix the dough just until it begins to come together.
- Gather the dough with your hands, don't worry if you see streaks of butter and shape it into two disks. Wrap the disks in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Season the tomatoes with olive oil plus salt and pepper.
- Press a disk of dough on a oiled cookie sheet into a round disk about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick and add layered slices of tomato to filling out the center, folding over about 1 inch of dough over the edge.
- Add chunks of mozzarella and bake until crust is golden brown.
- Remove from oven, drizzle with olive oil and top with fresh basil and if desired, grate additional cheese and serve.
