Rustic, golden, and bursting with the kind of summery flavor that makes people ask for the recipe before they've even finished their slice, this galette is the kind of dish that looks far more impressive than the effort required. The whole wheat crust comes together with olive oil and ice water — no butter, no shortening, no processed fats — and bakes up beautifully flaky with a nutty depth that a standard white flour crust simply can't match. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and clean, which matters when you're trying to avoid the sneaky sweeteners that show up in store-bought pastry doughs, jarred tomato products, and even some packaged cheeses. Salting and blotting the tomatoes before baking is the move that keeps everything from turning soggy, and it also concentrates their flavor so each bite tastes intensely of ripe, late-summer tomatoes. Creamy goat cheese seasoned with fresh thyme and black pepper acts as a savory, tangy base that holds the whole thing together without any added sauces or condiments to worry about. A scatter of torn basil and a drizzle of good olive oil right before serving keeps it fresh and bright. Serve it warm from the oven or at room temperature — either way, it disappears fast.

Lay the sliced tomatoes in a single layer on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the salt and let stand for 20–30 minutes, then blot dry with additional paper towels. This draws out excess moisture so the crust stays crisp.
In a large 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, shaggy 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 or wet. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap or parchment, and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes.
