The word &#8220;galette&#8221; can refer to a few different types of food, such as the galette des rois, a flat, round cake on which king cake is based. But fruit galettes, which can contain fillings other than fruit, are basically pies made without a pie pan. They are pie dough rolled out into a circle\u00a0 with fillings in the middle and the edges of the dough folded over the edges of the filling. The dough can be trimmed first for a neater look or left uneven for a more rustic appearance. If you&#8217;d like to make more galettes after you try this one, here&#8217;s a selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/galette-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/galette-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">galette recipes<\/a> from which you can choose.<\/p>\n<p>Galettes have some big advantages over traditional pies made in pans. The flat galette bakes quickly compared to a pie and you won&#8217;t need to blind-bake the dough, either (this is when you pre-bake the empty pie shell). The main disadvantage is that, because no pie pan with sides holds up the dough, you can&#8217;t have very soft fillings. Pie crust isn&#8217;t that difficult to make, but so much goes into preparing the crust, from blind-baking and trimming to stretching and crimping the edges that sometimes you just don&#8217;t want to mess with it. Making a galette, especially for flat fillings such as cheese slices and cherry tomato halves, is a far more relaxing process.<\/p>\n<h2>Tomato Galette Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2042523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD_193296_JonathanMelendez_1.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Taste Recipes's Tomato Galette in small dishes on a beige marble surface.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> You want a dough that&#8217;s relatively high in protein for this galette so that the crust has some strength. Don&#8217;t use bread flour, however, as that&#8217;s got too much protein and will turn out chewy rather than flaky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder:<\/strong> This leavener gives the dough a little rising power.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kosher salt:<\/strong> Part of this salt will go into the dough, while the rest is used to prepare the tomatoes. Use kosher salt because the larger crystals take longer to dissolve, giving the salt flavor more time to spread throughout the dough.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unsalted butter:<\/strong> This butter makes the crust flaky and rich. Use unsalted to better control the amount of sodium in the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> Sour cream helps make the dough and crust richer, along with the butter. It also helps make the dough easier to form into a ball and roll out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heirloom cherry tomatoes:<\/strong> These tomatoes give the galette filling a more interesting look.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pecorino romano cheese:<\/strong> The saltiness and smokiness of this cheese pairs well with tomatoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the dough<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2042524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD_193296_JonathanMelendez_2.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Taste Recipes's Tomato Galette served on a red plate with a beige marble countertop.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whisk together the flour, baking powder and 1\/2 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until the whole mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Mix in the sour cream and form a ball with the dough. Shape the dough into a disk, and then cover it. Refrigerate the dough for two hours or until the dough is firm enough to handle and roll out.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Prepare the tomatoes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2042525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD_193296_JonathanMelendez_3.jpg\" alt=\"Making Taste Recipes's Tomato Galette served on a beige table made of wood.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Put the cut tomatoes in a colander and sprinkle with the rest of the salt.

Sprinkle flour over a sheet of parchment paper, place the dough on the flour and roll the dough out to form a circle that&#8217;s 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the paper and dough to a baking sheet.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Bake the galette<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2042527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD_193296_JonathanMelendez_5.jpg\" alt=\"Making Taste Recipes's Tomato Galette served on a white platter.

Arrange the tomatoes on the cheese, and start folding the uncovered edges of the dough over the filling. Pleat the edges of the dough. You should still be able to see filling in the center of the galette after the dough edges have been folded over. Bake the galette for about 25 minutes. When done, the cheese should be bubbly and the crust golden-brown. Let the galette rest for 10 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2042528\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD_193296_JonathanMelendez_7.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Taste Recipes's Tomato Galette served on a red plate with a beige marble countertop.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Tomato Galette Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use sliced tomatoes instead of halved cherry tomatoes:<\/strong> If you have some larger tomatoes that you want to use up, you can use those, sliced, instead of cherry tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use puff pastry sheets or store-bought dough:<\/strong> If you want to make this even easier, use store-bought dough to create the crust or fold and cut puff pastry sheets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store a Tomato Galette<\/h2>\n<p>Store leftovers (if you have them) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. It&#8217;s not a good idea to freeze the leftovers as the tomatoes may not thaw that well.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make a tomato galette ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Because the storage time for the galette is so short, making the whole galette ahead of time isn&#8217;t really a good idea. You can make the dough a couple of days ahead and store it in the refrigerator, wrapped in airtight packaging.<\/p>\n<h2>Tomato Galette Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2042529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/TOHD_193296_JonathanMelendez_9.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Taste Recipes's Tomato Galette served on a red plate with a beige marble countertop.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do the tomatoes really have to be heirloom varieties?<\/h3>\n<p>No, of course not. Using heirloom tomatoes can make the galette look more interesting, and the window formed by the edges of the crust when folded and pleated allows you to show off those neat-looking varieties. But you can use regular cherry tomatoes, too, and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-tomato\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-tomato\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">tomato varieties<\/a> also work in this galette.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with this Tomato Galette?<\/h3>\n<p>A salad would be a great accompaniment to this galette.

One strategy is to brush a little egg white on the dough before adding the filling. Another is salting the tomatoes, which the recipe already calls for in a very basic form. If you want to be really careful about stopping tomato juice from affecting the crust, let the tomatoes and salt sit for 30 minutes instead of 15, and pat the tomatoes dry before adding them to the galette. That salt helps draw out moisture, which will drain out through the colander.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found beautiful heirloom tomatoes and had to show them off.
