Galettes

    0.01 sec.
Galettes 

large cookies, usually rectangular. A bread substitute, galettes remain fresh for an extended period of time. They are made of wheat flour to which yeast, chemical leavening agents, salt, and sugar are added. There are two types of galettes, depending upon the amount of shortening added: plain (so-called dry cookie or cracker) and rich (containing 10 to 18 percent butter or margarine). Plain galettes retain their nutritive value for up to two years. They are widely used in the army and on expeditions, and tourist excursions. Rich galettes retain their nutritive value for up to six months. Galettes should have a flaky texture and be easy to steep and good to dunk in water.

Galettes have an historical relationship with pizzas and tortillas - it just depends on what country you're in - so it makes sense that similar toppings work well.
We tried tartelettes citron (lemon tarts), petits delices orange chocolat (small cakes with orange zest and a chocolate base) and galettes fines (a slim crisp butter biscuit).
Store-bought frozen puff pastry sheets (Pepperidge Farm), thawed, unfolded and rolled out, work well for galettes - and no prebaking is necessary.
