It’s time for another “Bake together – The Baking Surprise” with my blogger colleague Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte. This months topic: tomatoes! It’s a whole month since we last baked together… that one time we even physically baked together for a change… ;)

Some of you might noticed from my Instagram Account that last month there were a lot of blueberries in my InstaStories. Why? Cause Andrea, me and some other bloggers went to Nova Scotia to pick blueberries. Bloggers actually do that on a regular basis… just kidding! I will tell you some other time more about the wild blueberry adventures in Canada! I promise! :)
Today it’s all about tomatoes. As you might know, Andrea and I are baking “together” once a month with a certain topic. This time it’s tomatoes, last time blueberries, before that it was all about coconuts… and so on. We’re doing that over a year already and I love the surprise that comes with this little baking event once a month. None of us knows the recipe of the other one until the day we publish.

This time I decided to make a galette. It’s quick and easy to prepare. The crust is made with a basic quiche/tart dough. Made in like 5 minutes. The filling is also easy to prepare – all in all an easy thing to do for lunch or dinner with couple people.


The tomatoes I used had different sizes. You can use only large ones, small ones or just mix them like I did. I like a lot when the tomatoes have different colors – red, yellow and green. Makes a nice dish at the end ;) If you can’t get hold of sour cream or schmand, you can also use cream cheese with some herbs for example. Use goat cheese if you like that. For some extra flavor kick, I added the sesame mixture which has some onion and garlic powder in it. So good!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the crust:
1 cups (130g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (70g) spelt flour
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (120g) cold butter

For the sesame coating:
1 tsp. white sesame seeds
1 tsp. black sesame seeds
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
pepper
For the topping:
2-3 tbsp. sour cream
3.5 oz. (100g) feta cheese
3-4 small tomatoes, sliced
4-5 cocktail tomatoes, sliced
1 spring onion
salt, pepper
some fresh thyme
olive oil
1 egg yolk, whisked
Für den Teig:
130g Mehl (Type 405)
70g Dinkel Vollkornmehl
2 EL brauner Zucker
1/2 TL Salz
120g kalte Butter
3-4 EL Eiswasser
Für das Sesam Topping:
1 TL weißer Sesam
1 TL schwarzer Sesam
1/4 TL granulierter Knoblauch
1/4 TL granulierte Zwiebeln
1/4 TL Salz
Pfeffer
Für die Füllung:
2-3 EL Schmand (Sour Cream)
100g Feta
3-4 kleine Tomaten, in Scheiben
4-5 Cocktailtomaten, in Scheiben
1 Frühlingszwiebel
Salz, Pfeffer
frischer Thymian
Olivenöl
1 Eigelb, verquirlt

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Mix the ingredients for the sesame coating in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Make two equal sized balls out of the dough and roll out each on a floured surface (size of a small plate) and transfer to the baking sheet. Slice the tomatoes as well as the spring onion. Spread one tablespoon of sour cream on each dough circle (leave about 2 inches/5cm free on the edges). Crumble the feta cheese and spinkle on top of the sour cream. Place the tomato slices on top of the cheese, season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme springs. Drizzle with some good olive oil.
4. To finish the galettes fold the edges of the dough towards the center to cover about 2 inches of the topping. Pleat the dough every couple inches to get a nice round shape. Brush the edges with whisked egg yolk and sprinkle with the sesame coating. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Take out of the oven and let cool down for a moment. Serve still warm and drizzle some more olive oil over the galettes to finish them.
2. Die Zutaten für das Sesam Topping in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen und zur Seite stellen.
3. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Tomaten und die Frühlingszwiebel in Scheiben/Röllchen schneiden und zur Seite stellen. Den Teig in zwei gleich große Portionen aufteilen und auf einer bemehlten Fläche jeweils auf die größe eines kleinen Tellers ausrollen. Die Fladen auf das Backblech legen und dann jeweils etwa 1 Eßlöffel Schmand (Sour Cream) auf den Teigkreisen verteilen. Lasst dabei einen etwa 5cm (2 inches) breiten Rand frei. Den Feta zerbröckeln und auf dem Schmand verteilen. Die Tomatenscheiben und Frühlingszwiebelröllchen ebenfalls drauf und dann mit Salz, Pfeffer und frischen Thymianzweigen würzen. Mit etwas Olivenöl beträufeln.
4. Die Teigränder ohne Schmand und Co. zur Mitte hin über den Belag schlagen und dabei immer etwas zusammenfalten, damit eine runde Form entsteht. Den entstandenen Wulst jetzt mit dem verquirlten Eigelb bestreichen und dann das Sesam Topping daraufstreuen. Für 25-30 Minuten backen, bis die Ränder schön Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und einen Moment abkühlen lassen. Nochmals mit etwas Olivenöl beträufeln und dann noch warm servieren.
