Ingredients

For the Zucchini Galette Dough

  • 500 g all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 300 g sugar
  • 200 g butter cut into small pieces, frozen
  • ¼ Cup Marsala Wine
  • 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk

For the Zucchini Galette Filling

  • 3 tbs. canola oil plus more for brushing
  • 1 medium leeks washed and thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 medium zucchini thinly sliced
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • Zest of one lemon

Instructions

To make zucchini galette dough

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Whisk together flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl or in a blender at low speed.
  • Incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add one egg at a time, then Marsala over the flour mixture; work the dough until it is all incorporated.
  • Gather dough together and form into a disc; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for ½ an hour.

To make zucchini galette filling

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add leeks and salt to taste and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks soften and turn lightly brown, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine garlic, thyme, olive oil,and nutmeg and the ricotta cheese.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour and place dough onto floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a 12-inch circle, and gently transfer to a large baking sheet.
  • Use an off set specula spreading the ricotta mixer in a thin, even layer on the circle, leaving 1 1/2 inches of dough around the perimeter.
  • Spread leeks on top of ricotta cheese. Arrange zucchini slices in an even layer on top of the leeks; brush with olive oil and sprinkle with additional salt, pepper and thyme to taste. Apply thin layer of egg wash on the edge of the crust.
  • Bake until crust is lightly browned and zucchinis are cooked through, 50-60 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow cool slightly.

Notes

Chef's Note: If you want your galette to be more colorful, you may use both zuchinni and summer squash.
