Method
- To make the pastry, put the flours, salt and butter cubes in a food processor and pulse until they form coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add the water a tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough comes together, you may not need it all, you may need a little more.
- Tip the dough out onto a floured surface, shape into a ball and flatten it into a thick disk. Wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 190⁰c.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large circle, the size of a large dinner plate. Transfer the dough to a large baking sheet, lined with baking parchment.
- Spread an even layer of mustard or chilli jam onto the pastry, leaving a 5cm border all around. Cover with the ricotta cheese, then lay the tomato slices on top. Sprinkle on garlic and thyme.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, overlapping the dough as necessary. Press gently to seal the edges.
- Brush the edges with the beaten egg, and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the tomatoes cooked through.
