Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3 ripe heirloom tomatoes, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Ice water (as needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually mix in ice water until a dough forms.
- Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice Tomatoes: Thinly slice tomatoes and lay them on paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches wide.
- Add Filling & Bake: Place sliced tomatoes on one half of the dough, leaving edges clear. Fold over the edges and brush with olive oil. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
