- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Drizzle in the 1/3 cup olive oil and stir with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse, clumpy crumbs. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition, until the dough just comes together and holds when pressed — it should not be sticky. Flatten into a disk, wrap in parchment paper, and rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden at the edges, about 8–10 minutes.
