Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2–3 tbsp ice water
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • 3–4 medium ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup ricotta or goat cheese
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil, for garnish
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it into the flour until you have pea-sized crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until dough just comes together.
  2. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Slice tomatoes and place them on paper towels. Lightly salt and let sit for 10–15 minutes to release moisture. Pat dry.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Spread mustard on dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Add ricotta, then mozzarella and Parmesan. Top with tomato slices. Drizzle with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Fold edges over and brush with egg wash.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Top with fresh basil and drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Drain your tomatoes well to avoid soggy crust.
  • Keep butter cold for flakiness.
  • Prep the dough in advance for convenience.
  • Try variations like goat cheese, caramelized onions, or prosciutto.
  • Delicious warm or at room temperature — great for brunch, lunch, or as an appetizer.
