  • 1/4 cup fine-ground cornmeal, plus more for work surface
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup ice water

For the Concord Grape, Honey, and Goat Cheese Filling

    (enough for a 9-inch galette)

    • 8 ounces goat cheese, softened
    • 2 teaspoons honey
    • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

    • 3 tablespoons pine nuts
    • olive oil
    • freshly cracked black pepper
    • kosher salt
    • 1 egg

    Instructions
     

    For the Cornmeal Galette Dough

    • Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to combine, before adding 1/2 cup cubed cold unsalted butter. Process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds — at this point it's actually desirable to have a couple pea-sized butter cubes in the mixture. Anything beyond that will make your dough a little hard to work with. With the machine running, pour 1/4 cup ice water through the feed tube in a slow steady stream, until the dough just holds together. DO NOT PROCESS FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS, or your dough will be over-kneaded and hard to work with!
    • Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Turn out the dough onto the plastic wrap, and work quickly to bring the dough together into a small mound, handling it as little as possible. When you've got a mound (it's okay to have a couple stray pieces), wrap the plastic around the mound. Flatten with the back of your palm and freeze for at least 10 minutes, until slightly hardened.

    For the Filling and Putting It All Together

    • Preheat the oven to 375 (F). Prepare a baking tray by lining with parchment paper.
    • Dust a clean work surface with a combination of all-purpose flour and cornmeal. Roll out the chilled cornmeal dough to a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. If the dough sticks to the work surface or your rolling pin, freeze for another 5 to 10 minutes or so. Transfer the dough to a large, parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
    • In a medium bowl whisk together 8 ounces goat cheese, 2 teaspoon honey, and leaves from 2 springs of fresh rosemary. Spread the goat cheese mixture over the rolled out dough, leaving a 2-inch border all the way around the circle. Mound 1 pound Concord grapes over the goat cheese, and sprinkle 3 tablespoons pine nuts over the mound. Fold border over the fruit mound, overlapping when necessary and pressing gently to adhere to the folds.
    • Crack open 1 egg in a small bowl and gently whisk until the yolk has incorporated into the weights. Brush the crimped border of the galette with the beaten egg.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Once the galette is ready, transfer the baking tray with the galette to a wire rack. Allow it to cool slightly, before garnishing with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Serve warm.
