Instructions

Preparation of dough

  • In a bowl, combine flour and salt, mixing well. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the lemon juice and ice water gradually, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Cook the spinach

  • In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Toss in the fresh spinach, cooking until just wilted. Remove from heat and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • Let it cool slightly.

Make the filling

  • In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and grated cheese.
  • Add the lemon zest, salt, pepper, and, if using, chili flakes. Incorporate the sautéed spinach and chopped artichokes until well blended.

Preheat & roll

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough into a 30cm (12-inch) circle.
  • Transfer this onto a baking sheet.

Assemble the galette

  • Spoon the spinach artichoke filling into the center of the rolled-out dough, leaving a 4cm (1.5-inch) border.
  • Gently fold the border inward, pleating as you go along to create a rustic appearance.

Bake to golden perfection

  • Place your galette in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown.
  • Let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

Finish & serve

  • Garnish the galette with fresh herbs, a sprinkling of additional grated cheese, black pepper, and a touch of lemon zest.
  • Best served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep butter and water cold for a flakier crust. Experiment with herbs for added flavor. Allow the dough to rest for easier rolling.
