Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt for the crust.
- 2
Add the chilled vegan vegan butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 4
While the dough is chilling, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
- 5
Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- 6
Stir in the thyme, balsamic vinegar, nutritional yeast, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 7
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle.
- 8
Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon the caramelized onion mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
- 9
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pleating as you go for a rustic look.
- 10
Brush the crust with plant-based oat milk for a golden finish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- 11
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your warm, savory galette!
