Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 190 g All-purpose flour
- 15 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 115 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 60 ml Ice water
- 70 g Almond flour
- 50 g Unsalted butter (softened)
- 50 g Powdered sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 4 Ripe peaches (sliced)
- 30 g Granulated sugar (for peaches)
- 10 g Cornstarch
- 1 Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp of water)
- 20 g Sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Do not overwork.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
To prepare the frangipane filling, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together in a bowl until light and creamy.
Mix in the almond flour, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until smooth.
Slice the ripe peaches into thin wedges. In a bowl, toss them with granulated sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the frangipane evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) border.
Arrange the peach slices in a decorative pattern on top of the frangipane.
Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating as you go, to create a rustic border.
Brush the crust with the egg wash and sprinkle sliced almonds over the top if desired.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
