Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 115 g cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 2-4 tbsp ice water
For the Filling
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 200 g fresh spinach
  • 100 g canned or jarred artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 120 g cream cheese, softened
  • 50 g sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 50 g grated mozzarella or Gruyère cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish
  • Extra grated cheese for topping
  • Black pepper and lemon zest for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Incorporate the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add in the lemon juice (or vinegar) and ice water until the dough comes together seamlessly. Wrap it in cling film and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Cook the Spinach
  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Next, add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until it wilts. Be sure to drain any excess moisture before proceeding.
Make the Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and grated cheese until smooth.
  2. Fold in the cooked spinach, chopped artichokes, fresh lemon zest, and season generously with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if desired. Ensure the mixture is well combined and set aside.
Roll the Dough
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a sheet of parchment paper, roll the dough into a 30cm circle, keeping it slightly thicker than 0.5cm.
  2. Carefully transfer it to a baking sheet.
Assemble the Galette
  1. Centrally spread the spinach and artichoke filling on the rolled-out dough, ensuring to leave a 5cm border around the perimeter.
  2. Fold the edges of dough inward toward the center, slightly overlapping as needed.
Bake the Galette
  1. Place the galette in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust turns a gorgeous golden brown, exuding a delightful aroma.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Once baked to perfection, remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  2. Garnish with fresh dill, additional grated cheese, black pepper, and a sprinkle of lemon zest. This galette can be served warm or at room temperature.

Notes

To elevate this Spinach Artichoke Dip Galette even further, you can experiment with different cheeses such as feta for a tangy kick or add minced onions for extra flavor depth. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, red pepper flakes can be increased to taste. If you find yourself short on time, pre-made dough can serve as a convenient alternative. Before baking, brush the edges of the galette with an egg wash for an even shinier finish. Leftovers can be wrapped tightly and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
