I knew we didn't have any cornmeal and couldn't be bothered searching for it so I used semolina instead for the dough and it worked brilliantly. I also just used regular tasty cheese and shredded mozzarella.
Originally I intended to make a sweet one as well but it actually didn't make as much dough as I thought. I used the full batch for this galette and it was the perfect dinner for the 4 of us with just one largeish piece leftover (for my lunch, yum!).
The dough was a little sticky but I didn't have any problems with it, possibly because it is winter here and quite a cool day?
This recipe is definitely a keeper and we'll be making it again.
Looks wonderful! I'll have to try semolina in this dough recipe. The cornmeal gave the crust a gritty texture, not sure if I really liked it or not. I did like the flavor of this though.
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty - the tomato adds such a lovely pop of color.
ReplyDeletelovely! i thought that this was tasty and pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful galette. Personally, I like the sweet fillings better, but it was fun to make.
ReplyDeleteThis was a huge hit in our house as well. I'm even planning to serve it again on double pi (pie) day. That's June 28 (6.28), in case you aren't mathematically inclined. Lovely pie!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! Good idea using the whole amount of dough. It really didn't seem like very much to split in two. I was sure I'd forgotten to add some flour!! We loved it too though and would definitely make it again.
ReplyDeleteI like using semolina flour and I am glad to know it worked so well.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I bet this would could easily twice as big, good idea.
ReplyDeleteGood idea to use the semolina flour. I have lots of that left over from the bread!! Looks really pretty too.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty tart, we liked the pastry too. Yours has such neat, pretty pleats, mine were much more, um, rustic!
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny to hear that it was a col day for you! Living in Europe, I also have somewhat other seasons than most of the bakers, but not THAT different :o]
