Ingredients

• all-purpose flour140 g
• cornmeal40 g
• cold butter, cubed90 g
• fine salt1/2 tsp
• ice water55 ml
• plums, pitted and sliced3 medium
• goat cheese90 g
• honey1 1/2 tbsp
• fresh thyme leaves1 tbsp
• black pepper1/4 tsp
• milk for brushing1 tbsp

Method

1. 1Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. 2Mix flour, cornmeal, and salt, then cut in the cold butter until pea-sized bits remain.
3. 3Add ice water just until the dough comes together; form a disk and roll it into a rough circle on the parchment.
4. 4Crumble goat cheese over the center, leaving a border, then layer the plum slices on top.
5. 5Drizzle with honey, sprinkle thyme and black pepper over the fruit, and fold the edges of the crust inward.
6. 6Brush the crust with milk and bake 22 to 26 minutes until the fruit is soft and the edges are browned.
7. 7Cool slightly before slicing so the cheese settles and the juices thicken.

Tips

• Use plums that are ripe but still firm so the galette stays neat.
• A little black pepper sharpens the sweetness and makes the thyme pop.
