  • Yield: 6 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

This rustic peach galette captures the essence of summer with juicy peaches and a buttery, flaky crust—easy, elegant, and delicious.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 6 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling
  • 1 pound (3-4 medium) peaches, sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, diced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually until dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine sliced peaches with sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir gently and discard excess juice.
  3. Roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Arrange peaches in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Dot with butter. Fold edges over peaches. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle coarse sugar.
  5. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Cool 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use firm, ripe peaches. Discard excess juice from filling to avoid soggy crust. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
