✅ Ricotta Dough Galettes
Dough (for 2 galettes)
* 250 g ricotta cheese
* 200 g plain flour
* 100 g cold butter
* 40 g sugar
* 5 g baking powder
* A pinch of salt
* 1 egg for brushing
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan)
2. Grate the cold butter into a bowl, add the curd cheese, sugar, salt, flour and baking powder. Mix with a fork.
3. Transfer the crumbs onto the table and quickly bring the dough together into a ball (do not knead too long – the butter must stay cold).
4. Divide the dough into 2 pieces and roll each out on baking paper lightly dusted with flour.
5. Trim the edges with a round shape for a neat look, or leave the rustic edges as they are.
Pear & Brie Cheese Filling (for 2 galettes)
* 4 large, firm pears
* 200 g brie
* ~50 g Roquefort or any blue cheese
* Walnuts
* Lingonberries or cranberries
* Honey
* Thyme
Assembly & Baking:
1. Arrange the pear slices “like a sun” on the dough and tuck pieces of brie between them.
2. Fold the edges inward and brush with beaten egg.
3. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, blue cheese, and berries.
4. Bake at **180°C for 20–25 minutes**.
5. Once baked, sprinkle with dried or fresh thyme and drizzle with honey. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
* Do not over-knead the dough — if the butter melts, the crust won’t be flaky.
* This recipe makes 2 galettes: you can make one savoury and one sweet.
* Filling quantities are flexible — adjust to taste.
* Blue cheese / berries / honey / herbs are optional — swap if you prefer.
* For berries: use frozen ones, mix with a little flour + sugar + citrus zest before adding.
* For apples or bananas: caramelise in butter with sugar and a splash of vanilla or dark rum before assembling.
