Peach Galette

---

It's my first summer in the Netherlands and I wanted to make good use of the fresh summer fruits that have become available in all the supermarkets. I love peaches and with an abundance of this fruit on the shelves, I decided to make one of my favourite pastry dishes.

The first time I made a galette, I made sweet potato stuffing and you can find the recipe here. That was my first time baking during which I had my oven break down and I had to improvise baking with my pressure cooker. I have explained this hack on my previous post. Since then, I have moved back to the Netherlands and finished setting up my kitchen. So, I wanted to test out my recently learnt baking skills and I also wanted to serve an amazing dessert for my husband who has a major sweet tooth. So, I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as my husband and I did. Have fun! 😁😁😁

1. Mix Dough: In a food processor add the flour, sugar and salt and give it a mix. Now add the chilled butter and pulse it till the butter is evenly distributed. Add vinegar and a teaspoon of water. Mix the dough and you can add additional water one teaspoon at a time. The dough is ready when it appears crumbly and is easy to hold together in between you fingers. Then turn the dough onto a clean lightly floured surface and form a round flat disc working quickly, be careful not to over handle the dough and melt the butter.

2. Refrigerate: Now tightly wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1h before rolling it out. You can also make the dough one day in advance and leave it in the refrigerator.

3. Make Peach Filling: In a large bowl, mix sugar, lime juice, lemon zest, arrowroot starch, cinnamon, ginger, salt and toss the peaches in it. 

4. Make the Gallete: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and wait for 5-10 mins for the dough to warm slightly. Till then pre-heat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside. Sprinkle some flour onto a clean surface and with the help of a rolling pin roll the dough out towards the edges. while doing so sprinkle some flour so that the rolling pin doesn't stick. Continue to roll till you have achieved a circle of about 12 inch in diameter and 1/8th inch thickness. Carefully transfer the dough to the parchment paper and refrigerate for about 15-20 mins. After 20 mins remove the dough and carefully spoon the peach mixture in the center creating a spiral design leaving about 2 inches from the edge.  Fold the the dough towards the peaches overlaying the dough as needed. Brush the pastry with an egg wash and sprinkle some chopped almonds. Bake for 45-50 mins till the peaches start to bubble and the crust starts to look golden brown. This means your galette is ready. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Sprinkle some icing sugar and serve with a scoop if ice cream. Enjoy 😋😋.
