Cheese and Prosciutto Galette
Literally a pizza pie
A galette is essentially a freeform pie, and it’s so fun to get creative with what you fill it with! I decided to make a delicious savory version with lots of cheese and some prosciutto as well! This is literally a pizza pie and it’s one of my new favorite things to make.
This recipe serves 5 people
Ingredients:
For the crust:
½ Cup (113g) Cold Unsalted Butter, cut into cubes
1 ½ Cups (180g) All Purpose Flour
1/8 Tsp Salt
6 Tbs Ice Water
For the filling:
8 Oz (226g) Fresh Shredded Mozzarella
4 Oz (113g)Fresh Grated Parmesan
5 Pieces Prosciutto, cut into chunks
½ Tsp (1g) Dried Oregano
¼ Tsp Black Pepper
¼ Tsp Garlic Powder
Directions:
1. To make the crust, add the butter, flour and salt to a food processor and pulse until the butter is the size of peas, then add the water and pulse until the dough comes together.
2. Dump the dough onto a floured surface and collect into a disk, then cover with plastic and chill for 20 minutes.
3. To make the filling, add all of the ingredients to a bowl and toss together.
4. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F (205 C). Roll the dough out into a 10-inch circle, about ½-inch in thickness, and place it on a sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Put all the filling in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edge. Fold the edges up over the filling, leaving the center exposed, and brush with egg wash which is just one egg mixed with 1 tbs of water.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the dough is golden brown, and the cheese is brown, bubbly and melty. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting.
