Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (use 1:1 GF if needed)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup cold water, plus more as needed
  • 1 (15 oz) can white beans (like cannellini), drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, adds cheesy flavor)
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Optional: fresh thyme or basil, for garnish
  • Optional: dairy-free pesto drizzle or balsamic glaze
  • Optional: extra flaky salt before serving

Instructions

  1. 1
    Roast the tomatoes

    Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Toss halved tomatoes with 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, until caramelized and juicy. Set aside.

  2. 2
    Make the olive oil pastry

    In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add olive oil and stir with a fork until crumbly. Slowly add water, mixing until dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap, and chill for 20-30 minutes.

  3. 3
    Make the white bean base

    In a food processor or with an immersion blender, blend the white beans, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and nutritional yeast (if using) until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4
    Assemble and bake

    Roll out pastry on parchment into a rough 10-inch circle. Spread the white bean filling in the center, leaving a 1.5-inch border. Top with roasted tomatoes. Fold edges over the filling, pleating as you go. Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, until crust is golden.

  5. 5
    Finish and serve

    Top with fresh basil leaves and any optional finishes like pesto drizzle or balsamic glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
