Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

4 to 6 tablespoons ice water

2 medium tomatoes, sliced

1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or torn

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Add in the cubed cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

    Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

      Roll Out the Dough: After chilling, place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.

        Layer the Filling: Starting from the center, layer the sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edge. Scatter fresh basil leaves over the filling, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

          Fold the Galette: Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as necessary, to create a rustic edge. Brush the folded edges with a little olive oil.

            Bake the Galette: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

              Finish with Balsamic Glaze: Remove from the oven and drizzle balsamic glaze over the top. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

                Serve and Enjoy: Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
