Instructions

  1. Step 1: Make crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor. Add cold butter and pulse until pea-sized crumbs form. Gradually add ice water, pulsing until dough just holds together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and trim edges. Prick base with a fork. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes until golden.
  3. Step 3: While crust bakes, thinly slice tomatoes and arrange in a single layer over crust. Scatter basil leaves and minced garlic over tomatoes.
  4. Step 4: Whisk olive oil, minced shallot, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over tomatoes. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until tomatoes are tender and edges are golden.
