Instructions
Instructions Dough
Mix salt & water and keep very cold until used
Pulse VERY COLD butter (I actually freeze mine) and our in food processor until it forms large clumps. If doing by hand, use 2 forks to “cut” the butter into the our.
Add salt water until dough has formed, but not smooth. The dough should pull o the sides of the food processor & resemble a ball.
Pull from machine onto a floured surface and shape into a ball. Cover with plastic and let rest for 2 hours or overnight.
Ricotta Filling
Mix all ingredients together and season with salt & pepper to taste.
Please note that all ingredients are measured to taste, so feel free to trust your instincts & adjust how you like.
Building Galette
Slice zucchini thinly in circles. (about 1⁄4 inch thick)
Cut Tart Dough into 4 pieces and work with one at a time.
Roll out Tart Dough with our on your cutting board. (You can do 2 large galettes or multiple small ones)
Smear Ricotta Filling on the bottom of the dough, leaving about an inch of space around all edges
Layer the sliced Zucchini on top of the cheese
Fold up edges of dough onto your zucchini
Bake at 425 degrees for about 30 minutes or until brown
Recipe Notes
Also feel free to use store bought pie dough & jump to just building and eating. No judgement!
Pro Tip: You can also make and freeze galettes before cooking. When freezing, be sure to freeze on an sheet pan first. Then, once frozen, you can stack and store in a ziplock or airtight container. When you are ready to eat, pull from the freezer and pop straight into the oven for a quick meal.
