This rustic, free-form tart is the kind of thing that looks like it came from a French countryside kitchen but comes together with a straightforward ingredient list and a little patience. The whole wheat crust is made with olive oil instead of butter, giving it a tender, slightly nutty crumb that holds up beautifully under the weight of juicy, caramelized tomatoes. Salting and blotting the tomatoes before baking is the key move here — it pulls out excess moisture so you get a crisp base rather than a soggy one. A creamy layer of herbed goat cheese sits between the crust and the tomatoes, melting into the filling as it bakes and adding a tangy richness that balances the sweetness of the fruit. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of lupin, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about the flour blend hiding anything unexpected — just straightforward whole wheat and good olive oil. Finished with torn basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of flaky salt, it's the kind of dish that works as a centerpiece for a casual dinner or a very impressive lunch. Serve it warm or at room temperature and watch it disappear 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.
