Directions

  1. For Dough
  2. 1
    Combine all the dry ingredients for the dough in a bowl. Using a dough mixer, mix until it becomes crumbly, roughly the size of peas. Then, add the yogurt and ice water. Quickly knead it into a smooth dough with cold hands. Ensure that both your hands and the butter remain cold to achieve a crispy crust. Wrap the dough in foil and let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour.

    For Filling

    In the meantime, cut the peaches into thin slices and mix them with the ground almonds and cornstarch. This helps to bind the juice from the peaches and prevents the dough from becoming soggy.

    For Assembly
  6. 5
    Roll out the chilled dough evenly and place it on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a little cornstarch and the ground almonds over the dough - they also help bind the juice. Then, distribute the peaches evenly on the dough, leaving an edge of about 4 cm.
  7. 6
    Fold the edge of the dough over the peaches and brush with peach juice. Sprinkle the almonds on the dough edge. Finally sprinkle the peaches with some sugar.
  8. 7
    Bake
  9. 8
    Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (fan) for about 40-45 minutes, until the galette is golden brown. The baking time may vary depending on the oven.

    Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Peach Galette Questions

The peach galette is a beloved dessert among many due to its delightful blend of flavors and textures, rustic appearance, and versatility, appealing to dessert lovers.

Absolutely! A galette is versatile; you can use other fruits like berries, apples, or pears, with adjustments for moisture content as needed.

To prevent a soggy crust, use ground almonds and cornstarch to absorb moisture, sprinkle cornstarch over the dough, ensure peaches are ripe but not overly soft, and pre-bake the crust briefly.

Look for a golden-brown crust, bubbling juice from the filling, and a firm but not hard texture when gently pressed; check a few minutes before the suggested baking time.

Serving suggestions include pairing with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, crème fraîche or mascarpone cheese, presenting on a rustic board, and garnishing with powdered sugar.
