This Summer Peach Galette is truly impressive. It is simple, delicious, and stunning. The best way to enjoy fresh Summer peaches! Recipe courtesy of Simply Recipes.
In a food processor, pulse the sugar, flour and salt until well mixed. Add the cubed butter and pulse about 8 times, until butter turns to pea-sized lumps.
Slowly add the ice water one TBSP at a time, pulsing after each addition until the dough begins to clump together.
Turn out onto a clean surface and form a disc. Do not over-knead. Work the dough just until it comes together and shape it into a disc. Sprinkle with flour on all sides, wrap with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for an hour to chill.
Filling:
Toss peaches with flour, sugar and vanilla. Stir gently to coat the peaches.
Assembly:
Roll out the dough onto a clean, floured surface. Roll out into about a 12″ diameter. Gently place the dough on a rimmed baking sheet.
If you are using the almond paste, dot the middle dough with the paste.
Arrange the peach slices in an overlapping pattern (single layer) starting in the middle and fanning out. Leave a few inches around the outside to fold the dough over.
Dot the peaches with the Tsp of butter and fold the edges of the dough over the filling about 2″ all the way around.
Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake at 425 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Let it cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes if you can contain yourself. Enjoy with some vanilla ice cream!
