Why does the dough need to chill for 2 hours?

The dough needs to chill for 2 hours to properly hydrate the flours and allow the vegan butter to firm up, resulting in a flakier crust for your galette.

What is the best way to caramelize the onions for this galette?

Slow-cook the sliced yellow onions with vegan butter and olive oil for about 40 minutes over medium heat until they become tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Can I use different vegetables in this savory galette?

While this recipe uses heirloom tomatoes and zucchini, you can experiment with other thinly sliced vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach, adjusting cooking times as needed.

How can I prevent the bottom of the galette from becoming soggy?

Ensure your sliced vegetables are not overly wet; you can pat them dry if needed. Spreading Dijon mustard onto the dough before layering also helps create a moisture barrier.

How should I store leftover Savory Veggie Galette?

Store leftover galette pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the oven for the best texture.

How to Prepare Savory Veggie Galette With Caramelized Onions [Vegan]

First, prepare the dough. Combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add in vegan butter and pulse until mixture turns into a coarse meal with a few small pieces of butter remaining.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl and drizzle with apple cider vinegar and 1/4 cup of ice water. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough comes together, then lightly knead until no dry spots remain. Don’t over-knead! carefully pat into a disk and wrap in plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
While the dough chills, prepare the caramelized onions. Combine vegan butter and extra virgin olive oil in a medium skillet and melt together over medium heat. Add in the sliced onions, season with sea salt and black pepper, and reduce to a simmer. Slow-cook the onions for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions become tender and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.
Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and preheat oven to 400°F.
Roll out the dough onto a lightly-floured sheet of parchment paper into two 7 by 9-inch rectangles, then carefully transfer the parchment to a baking sheet. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard onto the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. For each galette, layer 3 rows of sliced zucchini down the dough, top with sliced tomatoes, and scatter with caramelized onions. Crumble up the non-dairy Ricotta-style cheese then sprinkle it and fresh thyme leaves over the tops, along with a drizzle of olive oil. Lightly season with sea salt and black pepper.
Fold up the edges of the dough up and over the filling, overlapping as needed, then brush with non-dairy milk.
Bake galette, rotating once, for about 35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Slice and serve warm, with an additional sprinkle of Ricotta- style crumbles, sea salt and black pepper, and fresh thyme, if desired.

Notes

Though best when fresh, store leftover galette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheats nicely in both the microwave or oven (bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes).
