Sweet Potato Galette
/Countdown to Thanksgiving, one of my favorite holiday meals to prepare. This savory galette is a beautiful addition to any table. It can be served as an appetizer or side dish. Using store bought pizza dough, one of my go to hacks, this gorgeous recipe looks way harder to make than it is. It slices so well into wedges, making it the perfect pairing with a plated salad appetizer or hearty soup. It’s a showstopper as a whole as well.
Ingredients:
3 long and thin sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 to 1/8 inch rounds
Store bought pizza dough
One egg; the egg yolk is mixed with a tbsp of water, separate the white into another bowl
Cinnamon sugar mix
2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
Oven to 400. Spread the sliced sweet potatoes on a sprayed pan in a single layer. Brush or spray with olive oil, lightly sprinkle salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes or until tender.
Prep a large pan with sprayed parchment paper and set aside. Roll out the pizza dough on a well floured bored to the size of a large personal pizza. Brush some of the beaten egg yolk all over, leaving a two inch border. Transfer dough to baking sheet. Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar atop the egg washed dough, then layer the sweet potatoes in an even, overlapping pattern. Fold over the sides of the dough border, pinching to seal. I like to use some water to ensure a closed pinch. You should have a 2 to 3 border to enclose the galette. Brush the border with the remaining yolk wash. Brush the sweet potatoes with the egg white. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar around the dough border. Sprinkle the chopped Rosemary atop the sweet potatoes and some around the edges. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
I suggest a rustic platter and serving piece to compliment the seasonal mood of this dish. I loved the doughy thickness here, but you can also divide the pizza dough into halves. This will give you a thinner dough and an extra portion to make two of these for a large crowd, or to use in another vegetable variation. Options!
