Tomato Galette

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 4-5 ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse the flour and salt together. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. While pulsing, slowly add the ice water until the dough comes together.
  3. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
  6. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
  8. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
  9. Fold the edges of the dough over the tomatoes, pleating as needed.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  11. Let the galette cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
