Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- 3
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In another bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, egg, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 6-inch circles.

Place a spoonful of the ricotta mixture in the center of each circle and gently fold the edges over, leaving the center exposed.

Transfer the galettes to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

While the galettes bake, prepare the salsa: Combine diced tomatoes, peach, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss gently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but it may result in a denser crust. For best results, consider using a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour, such as a 50/50 ratio.
Q: What is a good substitute for ricotta cheese?
A: If you don’t have ricotta, you can use cottage cheese or mascarpone as a substitute. Keep in mind that cottage cheese will have a slightly different texture and flavor, so you might want to blend it for a smoother consistency.
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Yes, the dough can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. You can also freeze the dough for up to 1 month. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before rolling it out.
Q: How should I store leftover galettes?
A: Store leftover galettes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes to crisp up the crust before serving. Avoid topping with the salsa until just before eating.
Q: Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
A: Yes, you can make the crust gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of regular flour. Be sure to check that all your ingredients (like the Parmesan and ricotta) are also certified gluten-free.
Q: How can I prevent the galette crust from getting soggy?
A: To prevent a soggy crust, make sure to drain excess moisture from the ricotta mixture and pat the diced tomatoes and peaches dry before making the salsa. Using parchment paper or a perforated baking sheet can also help keep the crust crisp.
Q: What other topping variations can I try for the salsa?
A: You can experiment with other seasonal fruits and herbs. For example, swap the peach with diced mango or nectarine, and consider adding a pinch of red chili flakes for a spicy kick. Fresh cilantro or mint can also replace the basil for a unique flavor twist.
