Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
3.	In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil and milk, then slowly add it to the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
4.	Roll out the dough to form a 12-inch circle with a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
5.	Place the dough on a lightly oiled baking sheet and crumble the blue cheese on top, leaving a 1-inch border around the dough.
6.	Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese, pleating as you go, then brush with a little olive oil.
7.	Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8.	While the galette is baking, make the balsamic gravy by pouring the white wine, red wine, and balsamic vinegar into a small pan and simmering over medium heat.
9.	Reduce until thickened, then serve with the warm galette.
