Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 60 g All Purpose Flour or Maida
  • 60 g Whole Wheat Flour or Atta
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 50 g Unsalted Butter , cut into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme Fresh or Dried
  • 4 - 5 tbsps Water Ice-cold

For the filling:

  • 2 tbsps Pesto
  • 1 tablespoon Cream Cheese
  • 1 Heirloom Tomato , Sliced
  • to Taste Salt
  • Black Pepper Freshly ground
  • A few Basil Additional leaves of for garnishing
  • Egg Wash for brushing

Instructions

  • For the dough
  • Add all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, butter and thyme to a food processor. Pulse till the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Keep pulsing while adding the water till the mixture just about comes together. Transfer this to a work surface, and knead together for 20 seconds till the mixture forms into craggly dough. Flatten into a disk, wrap in clingfilm and chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.
  • To make the filling
  • Mix the pesto that we made earlier (http://myfoodstory.in/basil-walnut-pesto/) and cream cheese to make a smooth paste.
  • Heat the oven to 190 degree Celsius.
  • Assembling the Galette
  • Once the dough is chilled, remove from the refrigerator and place on a heavily floured work surface. Roll the dough out into a 9-inch round. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the pesto mixture over the dough leaving a 1 inch border. Place the tomato slices on the pesto mixture and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Fold the edges over the tomatoes using the 1 inch border and pleat them to make it fit. The center of the pie will be open.
  • Brush the edges with egg wash (Whisk together egg and a little water to make egg wash) and bake for 40-50 minutes till golden brown. Remove from the oven. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, sprinkle with fresh basil, cut into wedges and serve.
