Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour (144g)
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free cornmeal (75g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (cold and cubed (113g))
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (5ml)
  • 3-4 tablespoons cold water (45-60ml)

For the ricotta filling:

  • 1 cup ricotta (full-fat (220g))
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (shredded (40g /1.5oz))
  • 1/4 cup basil (thinly sliced (6g, about 20 large basil leaves))
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

For assembling:

  • 2-3 heirloom tomatoes (sliced 1/4 inch thick)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (sliced in half (80g))
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon flaky salt (such as Maldon salt)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 egg (for egg wash (50g))
  • 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash (5ml))
  • 10 basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and cold water, starting with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir until the dough comes together. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of water.
  • Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Prepare the ricotta filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta, parmesan cheese, finely chopped parsley, minced or grated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare the tomatoes: Slice the heirloom tomatoes and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Set them aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
  • Assemble the galette: Roll out the chilled dough between two pieces of parchment paper into a 12-inch circle.
  • Remove the top parchment paper. Spread the ricotta filling over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
  • Arrange the sliced heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes over the ricotta filling. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper over the tomatoes.
  • Gently fold the edges of the dough over the tomatoes, pleating as needed to make the galette shape.
  • Prepare the egg wash: In a small bowl, beat together the egg and 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the dough edges.
  • If your kitchen is warm, you can put the galette into the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before baking to let the butter solidify again.
  • Bake the galette for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the tomatoes are roasted and the pastry is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes.
  • Before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves. This galette is delicious served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • This recipe was tested with Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour (in the blue bag). It already contains xanthan gum so you will not need to add it to this recipe. 
  • If you are gluten-free, be sure to double check that all ingredients are gluten-free as manufacturing practices can change from time to time. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warm.
