Peach Galette
A Peach Galette is a rustic dessert celebrating the juicy sweetness of ripe peaches baked in a warm, flaky crust. It's perfect for summer gatherings or a quiet evening at home.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3–4 tablespoons ice water
- 4–5 medium fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamo
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 beaten egg (for wash)
- Turbinado sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk shape.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice peaches into thin wedges and mix with sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
- Roll the chilled dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter on a floured surface.
- Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, pile the peach filling in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of the dough over the peaches.
- Brush the crust with a beaten egg and sprinkle with extra sugar and Turbinado sugar, if desired.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are bubbly.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for sweetness. Keep butter cold for a flaky crust. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
