What is the French Galette?

In French cuisine, a galette refers to a type of flat, round or free-form crusty cake or pastry. Galettes can be both sweet and savory and are characterized by their rustic and simple preparation. They are typically made by folding the edges of a thin pastry dough over a filling, leaving the center exposed. Galettes are often baked on a flat baking sheet, and their appearance is charmingly imperfect, showcasing the natural beauty of the ingredients.

Remember that Galettes are meant to have a rustic and imperfect appearance, so embrace any imperfections in the folding and pleating of the dough.

Ingredients

For the Galette Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup vegan butter, cold and cubed
6 tablespoons ice water
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

2 medium zucchinis, sliced
2 medium tomatoes, sliced or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup corn kernels (from 2 -3 ears of corn)
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

For the Vegan Feta:

1 block of firm tofu, drained and crumbled
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

For Assembly:

2 tablespoons non-dairy milk (for brushing)
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Galette Crust:

In a food processor, pulse the flour and salt. Add the cold vegan butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling:

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced zucchini, corn, red onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.

Prepare the Vegan Feta:

In a bowl, combine crumbled tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Assemble the Galette:

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled galette dough into a circle, about 12-14 inches in diameter.
Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the vegan feta mixture in the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border.
Arrange the sautéed zucchini, corn, and sliced tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes on top of the vegan feta.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go around.
Brush the edges of the galette with non-dairy milk for a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Once baked, let the galette cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
