Peachy Picks

  • Crust: Buy or DIY? Homemade dough is easy to make with pantry basics and a food processor. For a perfect crust, measure flour properly and be sure to use chilled butter and ice water.
  • No time to prep a crust? No problem! Use a frozen and thawed pie crust or a ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust. Puff pastry is another option and should be thawed and gently stretched into a circle before using.
  • Peaches: Unpeeled peaches add to the rustic charm of galettes. Cut them into equal slices for uniform baking and the best presentation.
  • Warming Spices: Brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and butter add sweet and spicy flavor to a peach galette. Corn starch blends with the peach juices and seasonings for a thicker filling.

  • Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the entire dessert before baking for an Insta-worthy, sparkly dessert.

  1. How beautiful this peach galette! I think I can smell it right through the computer screen) It’s incredibly beautiful. I am confident and delicious. I made galette once in my life with chicken, spinach and cheese. The filling turned out to be very tasty, but the crust was not baked at all. I think this is due to the fact that I used whole grain flour and not regular flour. I also added bran, they could ruin the dough too. This time I will do everything according to the recipe. I want to surprise the guests. Thanks for the recipe!
