Instructions

1 In the bowl of a stand mixer (or by hand) place the flour and chilled butter cut
into small cubes. I also like to add the salt here. Run the machine until the
mixture begins to look like sand and pebbles.
2 Next add the egg and seeds and continue to run the machine. This is a very hard
dough to overwork so let the hook do it’s job until you have a tight, elastic
ball of dough.
3 Tightly wrap the seeded galette dough with plastic wrap or cling film and place
in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. As mentioned above you can prepare this
dough up to two days in advance, but you want to chill it at least 15 minutes
before rolling it out.
4 The first thing you have to do is roll out your dough. I suggest doing this on a
large, floured surface. I like my French style rolling pin but you can use
whatever you have on hand. Roll the dough about 10 cm larger than the diameter
of your baking dish to account for the fold-over and trimmings.
5 Place the dough in your baking dish and let the edges flow over the rim. Put
down a layer of grated raclette, followed by the thinly sliced pears, blue
cheese crumbles, and walnuts. The walnuts can burn if you place the galette too
close to the heating element in the oven so you can also add them on at the end.
Or, place them under the pears to protect them from the heat.

Trim away the excess dough so you have an even amount, then fold it over the
edges like shown in the photograph above. Sprinkle over some salt and pop in the
oven at 200C or 400F for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough looks golden brown.
6 Before serving drizzle over a bit of honey. You can also add things like fresh
herbs, hot sauce [https://cookingtoentertain.com/morita-pepper-hot-sauce/], or
anything else you feel like.
