Cook Time
1 hour
Ingredients
2 cups King Arthur all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter cubed
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 pounds heirloom tomatoes sliced to ¼ inch thickness
2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
Fresh thyme
3 ounces asiago cheese grated
3 ounces asiago cheese shredded
1 egg beaten
1 lemon
1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
Coarse kosher salt
Black pepper
Directions
-
Pulse flour and 1.5 teaspoons salt in a food processor. Add butter and blend until loosely combined before transferring to a large mixing bowl.
-
Add apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup ice water, using a large fork to stir. Splash in additional water as needed and be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently knead the dough atop a board or clean counter to form a fully-moistened disc. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 and up to 24 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 400°. In a separate bowl, gently toss sliced tomatoes and garlic with 1 teaspoon salt. Let sit for 10 minutes before straining out excess liquid and transferring to paper towel-lined plate.
-
Roll dough across floured parchment to about 14-inches round and 1/8 inch thickness. Transfer parchment to a baking tray and scatter asiago across the top, leaving a 2-inch cheeseless border around the edge.
-
Place tomato mixture and thyme atop the cheese layer. Fold dough edges over tomatoes and brush generously with egg.
-
Freeze tray for 10 minutes. If it’s too large, carefully lift the parchment by the edges and transfer to a large plate.
-
Bake for 50-60 minutes, rotating once or twice to ensure even, golden browning.
-
Sprinkle galette with lemon zest and chives, plus pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
