A Summery Peach Galette

Day 304 (29th June)

Part 1

Okay, I'm doing two parts for day 304 because the pictures are way too good, and I believe they deserve a shiny spot on the website.

First, I made a peach galette!

Pie dough recipe (Makes one big galette and one small galette/small pie)

Ingredients:

• 200 grams of all-purpose flour

• 100 grams of cold, chopped butter

• 10 tablespoons of cold water
  

Instructions:

1) Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse it for about 20 seconds until pea-sized particles form.

2) Take the dough out of the food processor and knead it into a big ball (only until just combined — no need to over-knead).

3) Wrap it in saran wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Peach filling recipe:

Ingredients:

• 6 medium-sized peaches

• 1/4 cup of brown sugar (can increase to 1/3 cup)

• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon of cornstarch

• 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Optional: One egg yolk (to brush), a teaspoon of sugar

Instructions:

1) Cut the peaches into four to six parts each.

2) Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a bowl.

3) Add in the peaches.

4) Mix thoroughly by hand until each peach piece is coated.

To make the galette, roll out 2/3 of the dough until it is half an inch thick.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Add about 3/4 of the filling to the middle of the galette.

Fold the sides into the galette. Optional: brush with an egg yolk and top with sugar.

Bake for 30-35 minutes until lightly browned.

Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream!

That's NOT all for today, because there's another post coming! Check it out haha :)
