Tomatoes, cheese and dough. It’s like pizza, but elevated. A galette is a simple way to make a pie - simple folded over crust. Rustic and no-fuss.

Place the tomato slices on a few paper towels or napkins and add a little salt on top of each tomato slice.

Flip the tomato slices over and season the other side with a little salt.

Place a couple more paper towels on top to drain juices.

Roll or stretch your pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper. Transfer to your baking sheet.
