Spring green galette with Parmesan cheese pastry - one of my all time favourites

I thought I would share this pastry recipe with you 🎉

For the pastry:

Ingredients
- 250g flour
- 120g unsalted butter chilled
- 1-2 tbsp milk cold
- 30g Parmesan cheese finely grated
- Salt

Method with food processor:
Place the flour, butter and salt in a food processor, pulse for 5-8 seconds, you still want the butter to be in pieces. Add the cold milk and Parmesan cheese, whizz again for another 5-8 seconds. You want the dough to just be coming together, with small lumps of butter to be visible.

Tip the dough out on to your kitchen surface, bring together and wrap in cling film. I like to pat the dough flat as you will be rolling it out later. Pop in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

If you do not have a food processor do not worry -
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the cold butter. Rub the flour and butter between your fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs - this can take some time but worth the effort! Add the salt and Parmesan cheese, mix into the flour/butter breadcrumbs. Add the milk and being together.

Wrap your dough in clingfilm, pat flat and pop in the over for at least two hours.

Once your dough has been chilled in the fridge for at least two hours, flour your kitchen work surface. Unwrap your dough and roll it out to your desired shape. Transfer onto parchment paper on a baking tray.

Add your chosen filling to the centre of your dough leaving a 5-7cm edge depending on what size edges you want. Fold your dough over - you can get creative making a pretty crimped pattern around the edges, or keep it simple and elegant… this is why I love working with pastry!

Return to the fridge for 1hr.

Preheat your oven to 180˚C. Add galette to the middle of your oven and bake for 45mins - 1hr or until the pastry is golden brown.

Remove from oven, once you are able to handle it place on a wire rack to cool down - be so careful when transferring, it’s easier once cooled down a bit.

If you have any questions please do ask 💙

Enjoy!

Good Morning 🌻

Two Years ago during the first lockdown I started Cressy’s Kitchen, selling and delivering baked goods around Ashburton and the surrounding areas. I had such an amazing experience, meeting some lovely people and learning A LOT. Thank you to yourself and our incredible Ashburton community for supporting me during the pandemic, it really made it all a lot easier.

Due to continued full time unemployment due to the pandemic I had to go back to my old job as a yacht chef. Again I had a fantastic couple of years, but now I am back, and back for good with a new, fun project… Wild Goose Kitchen.

I am thrilled to say that I am starting my my own, small catering business here in Devon specialising in grazing tables. Wild Goose Kitchen is still fresh and in its early days but I am very very excited for what is to come.

I will be posting more information in the coming future, but if you cannot wait and would like some more info please drop me a DM 😊
