To make the pastry, add the flour, butter, salt and baking powder to a food processor. Pulse a few times just until the mixture resembles course crumbs. Add the blue cheese and pulse once or twice to incorporate.
With the machine running, slowly add the ice water until a dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Roll out the dough to approximately an 8×10 inch vertical but don’t worry about being exact. Slice the tomatoes thinly and dab with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Spread them out in alternating colors on the dough but leave about an inch border on all sides. Spread the crumbled bacon over the tomatoes.
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and Vanilla Bean Paste and drizzle over the tomatoes and bacon. Season with salt and roll up the pastry edges. Again, don’t worry about being too exact. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 45 minutes or until the pastry is a light golden brown. Slice and serve warm as an appetizer, side dish or lunch with a salad.
