Peach Galette
Ingredients
For the Crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
3-4 tbsp ice water
For the Filling:
4-5 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1 tbsp lemon juice
For Assembly:
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tbsp turbinado sugar or granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the Peaches:
In a mixing bowl, toss sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon (if using), and lemon juice. Set aside.
Assemble the Galette:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the peach slices in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating as needed.
Add Finishing Touches:
Brush the crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the peaches are bubbling.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the galette to cool for 10-15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
