📝 Preparation Steps
1
Begin by making the pastry. Place both of the flours and salt in a large bowl; whisk with a fork to combine. Then add the olive oil and stir through, using your fingertips to evenly incorporate, if necessary. Pour in the ice cold water and mix, first with a fork and then with your hands. Shape into a round, wrap in cling film and refrigerate while you make the filling.

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium–high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the sliced leeks, potatoes, garlic and salt and pepper to the pan at the same time. Cover and cook for 18–⏱️ 20 minutes, removing the lid to stir occasionally until tender.

For the béchamel sauce, place the oat milk into a medium saucepan. Add the onion, bay leaf and black peppercorns and bring to a gentle simmer. Then simmer gently for ⏱️ 1 minute before turning off the heat and then leave to infuse while you make the roux.

Place the flour and olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Slowly strain in the hot infused milk, continuing to whisk until you have a smooth, glossy thickened sauce. Turn off the heat; add the nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard and salt. Set aside to cool.

5
Remove the pastry from the fridge. Lightly dust a clean work surface with some plain flour and roll the ball of pastry into a 30cm / 12″ circle. Place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
6
Spread the cooled béchamel sauce onto the base of the pastry, leaving a 5cm / 2″ border. Top with the cooled leeks and potatoes. Then fold the border up, allowing it to slightly overlap the filling and pinching gently to ensure it remains in place.
7
Chill in the fridge while you preheat the oven. To prepare in advance, you can make the galette up to this stage the day before.
8
Preheat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / 390°F. Place the galette into the centre of the oven and bake for 35–⏱️ 40 minutes until the crust has darkened. Remove and cool on a wire rack before serving.
