Caprese Galette With Balsamic Reduction

• 1 1/2 cups (about 6 3/8 oz.) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon table salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
• 1/4 cup cold vegetable shortening, diced
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 3 (9- to 10-oz.) large heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/2-in.-thick slices
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-in.-thick slices
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon water
• Small fresh basil leaves

1. Prepare the Crust: Pulse flour, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a food processor until combined, 2 to 3 times. Scatter diced butter and shortening over top; pulse until mixture resembles coarse sand, 4 to 5 times. Drizzle with ice water; pulse just until mixture starts to clump together, 3 to 5 times.
2. Transfer dough to a work surface. Gather dough together, and knead until dough comes together, 3 to 4 times. Shape dough into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Balsamic Reduction: Bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Cook until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter, and whisk until well combined.
4. Prepare the Pesto: Process basil, Parmesan, pine nuts, pepper, and garlic in a food processor until finely ground and pasty, about 1 minute. With food processor running, drizzle 3 tablespoons of the oil through food chute. Process until well combined.
5. Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Remove dough from refrigerator; remove and discard plastic wrap. Place dough on a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, and roll dough into a 14-inch circle. Spread 3 tablespoons of the pesto over dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Set aside remaining pesto. Shingle tomato slices and cheese slices in a circular pattern over pesto. Fold edges of dough up and over filling to partially cover.
6. Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl. Brush egg mixture over exposed dough. Transfer galette and parchment to a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until well browned, 45 to 50 minutes.
7. Stir together remaining pesto and 2 tablespoons oil. Drizzle galette with desired amounts of pesto and balsamic reduction. Reserve remaining pesto and balsamic reduction for another use. Sprinkle with basil leaves. Cut galette into 6 wedges.
