Instructions
 

Dough

  • Place the flour, cheese and salt in a bowl and whisk well.
  • Cut the butter into smaller cubes and place in the flour. Using a Pastry Blender, blend the butter into the flour until you have a mixture that is small and crumbly in texture.
  • Add the wine to the dough and mix using a spoon or Danish Dough Hook. Mix until you have a nice dough ball.
  • Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator. The dough can be made the night before and kept in the refrigerator.

Filling: Zucchini and Tomatoes

  • Set the oven at ~400 degrees F.
  • Cover two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice the zucchini using Japanese Beriner slicer to about 1/4+ inch thick. thinner than this will end up with Zucchini mush.
  • Place the zucchini in a bowl and add ~ ½ of the EVOO, then sprinkle half of the Italian seasoning on the zucchini. Mix well.
  • Place the coated zucchinis on one of the parchment covered cookie sheets.
  • Slice the Tomatoes in half and place them in the Zucchini bowl. Add the remainder of the EVOO and Italian Seasoning. Mix well.
  • Place the Tomatoes on a seperate parchment covered cookie sheet. The zucchini and tomatoes will roast at different times.
  • Roast the zucchini and tomatoes for ~ 15-20 minutes. You want then just beginning to brown.
  • Set aside and let the zucchini and tomatoes cool. You can put them in the refrigerator over night to be used the next day.

Filling: Cheese

  • Place the Ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, lemon zest, Parmisan Reggiano cheese and the egg in a bowl and mix this well until well blended. Set aside.

Filling: Onions and Garlic

  • Place the EVOO in a fry pan over low heat and bring to shimmering.
  • Add the onions and fry until browning.
  • Add the garlic and fry until fragrant.
  • Remove from the heat and set aside.

Assembly, Baking and Serving

  • Place the egg and water in a small bowl and whisk well.
  • Heat the oven to ~425 degrees F.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator, place it on a floured flat clean surface and roll it out to about ¼ inch thick. The edges will be a bit ragged, this is fine and fits with the overall preparation of the Galette. Try to keep it basically round in shape.
  • Place the rolled out dough on a parchment covered cookie sheet. The round will be about 12 inches in diameter. Keep in mind it will have irregular borders and not be completely round, this is what you want, that rustic appearance.
  • Using as offset cake spreader spread the Ricotta cheese mixture onto the dough. Leave about 1 ½ to 2 inches around the edges. You will fold these over once the filling is placed.
  • Take the zucchini and layer them on top of the cheese.
  • Take the tomatoes and place them on top of the zucchini.
  • Sprinkle the onion garlic mixture over the zucchini and tomatoes.
  • Fold over the edges of the dough onto the filling.
  • Brush the edges well with the egg wash.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan Regiano over the egg wash and filling
  • Sprinkle the salt over the egg washed dough edges.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles.
  • Let sit for about 10 minutes then cut with an pizza knife or wheel, or large chef's knife into wedges.
  • Serve and enjoy!!
