Savory Beet And Gorgonzola Galette
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour (white Or Wheat)
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Cold Water
- 2 whole Beets (golden Or Red)
- 1/2 cups Crumbled Gorgonzola Cheese
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- To make the dough, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to combine. If the mixture seems too dry then add the water but it's not always necessary. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the beets by dropping them into a pot of boiling water. Lower the heat and allow them to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove beets from the pot using a slotted spoon and allow them to cool until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets and slice into thin rounds. You can do this with a knife but it's far faster and easier with a mandoline.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of an 8" or 9" round dish (I used a pie tin). Begin layering the sliced beets into the crust in an overlapping circle but keeping them about 1 1/2" away from the edge of the dough. Season each layer with salt and pepper and sprinkle on about a tablespoon of the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Continue until you've added all of the beets. You can save a little cheese for the topping.
- Roll the edges of the dough up and over the filling (there will still be quite a bit of filling exposed) and crimp them slightly. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until the dough is a light golden brown.
