Yeasted Olive Oil Pastry image

This makes a good crust for a galette. Roll thin so it doesn't become too bready. This recipe is from the vegetarian cookbook Mediterranean Harvest.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 torte or galette

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 large egg, at room temp and beaten
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, more as needed
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Dissolve the yeast in the water, add the sugar, and allow to sit until creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and olive oil. Combine the flour and salt, and stir into the yeast mixture. Work the dough until it comes together in a coherent mass, adding flour as necessary. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes, adding flour as necessary, until the dough is smooth; do not overwork. Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise in a draft-free spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, gently knead a couple of times. For a galette, use all of the dough in one piece, for a double pie crust, cut into two pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap. Let sit for 5 minutes. Then roll out into thin rounds, as directed in the recipe or use to line oiled pans. If not using right away, freeze the dough to prevent it from rising and becoming too bready. The dough can be transferred directly from the freezer to the oven.

I'm not a big fan of olive oil, but I really enjoyed this pastry. It was light and fluffy, and the flavor was subtle but delicious.

The olive oil pastry was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some herbs or spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pastry turned out really tough. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

This recipe was a disaster! The pastry was dry and crumbly. I had to throw it all away.

The pastry was good, but not great. I think it needed a bit more salt.

This pastry was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
