Equipment

  • 1 Rolling Pin To roll out the dough into a flat, round shape
  • 1 Parchment Paper For lining the baking sheet to prevent sticking and make it easy to transfer
  • 1 baking sheet To bake the peach tart. Choose a sheet that fits in your oven
  • 1 Knife or Pastry Wheel For slicing the peaches and, if desired, trimming the edges of the tart
  • 1 Brush To apply an egg wash or milk for brushing the edges before baking
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons For accurate measurement of ingredients
  • 1 Spatula To lift and transfer the tart from the rolling surface to the baking sheet
  • 1 Food processor For mixing the dough ingredients

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups flour all-purpose
  • ½ tsp granulated sugar
  • ½ cup butter unsalted, cubed
  • 3-4 tbsp ice water

Filling Ingredients

  • 4-5 ripe peaches sliced
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp flour all-purpose
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Assembly Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp milk or cream (for brushing the crust)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting finished tart)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the Ice: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Filling: While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss the peaches to coat them evenly with the mixture.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out into a circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Assemble the Galette: 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 you go to create a rustic crust. Brush the crust with milk or cream.
  6. Bake the Galette: Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender and bubbling.
  7. Finish and Serve: Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool slightly on the baking sheet. Dust the crust with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Keep peach slices in uniform in size and shape for equal baking
