Ingredients
Units
For the pastry
- 300g cake flour
- 1/2 tsp or 2g fine sea salt
- 225g salted butter, cut into cubes
- 115ml sour cream
- 1 egg (to egg wash the pastry at the end)
OR
- 1 roll of ready-rolled shortcrust
For the filling
- 4–5 tomatoes
- 250g ricotta
- 40g parmesan
- 10g parsley, chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Take the butter out of the fridge and cut it into small cubes. In a mixing bowl add the flour and salt. Add the butter to the flour and using your fingers, smush the butter into the flour together until it resembles small buttery flakes. Mix in the sour cream, mixing with a spoon, and then your hands, until well incorporated.
- Shape the pastry into a ball. Press into a flat disk, wrap in baking paper and place in the fridge for 30 mins. Alternatively, use ready-made shortcrust pastry.
- Preheat the oven to 190C. Scatter flour over a work surface, place the pastry on top and roll 2/3 of the pastry into a rough 40cm circle. Lightly drape the pastry circle around a rolling pin and transfer it onto a paper-lined baking sheet.
- Mix together the ricotta, parmesan, parsley and salt. Slice the tomatoes into slices roughly 1/2 cm thick.
- Add the ricotta mix to the middle of the pastry, and put the sliced tomatoes on top in a spiral pattern. Make sure to leave a 5cm pastry border to fold in the sides of the galette. Beat an egg and brush the edge with a pastry brush, then start forming the galette. Fold the pastry in, slightly overlapping the filling. Lightly egg-wash all over, then place into the freezer for 10 mins.
- Place the galette into the preheated oven and bake until golden, crisp and cooked through. This will take 40-50 minutes. Turn the galette around mid-way through to ensure an even bake.
