DIRECTIONS
- Add the flour, cornmeal, salt and butter to a food processor and pulse several times.
- Whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice and ice water.
- Add a spoonful at a time to flour mixture just until the dough holds together.
- Wrap well and let rest for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C).
- Roll out dough on a floured surface to a 12 inch (30 cm) circle.
- Trim the edges to make a rough circular shape.
- Place on a baking sheet. (This can be done several hours in advance and refrigerated.)
- In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, Fontina and basil and toss well.
- Spread the cheeses over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.
- Place the tomatoes over the cheese, overlapping them slightly in rings. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the uncovered edge of the pastry over the cheese, pleating it to make it fit and leaving the centre uncovered.
- Bake until the pastry is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then slide the galette onto a serving plate.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
