Galettes are sneaky. They may look complicated but are actually very easy to achieve.
This was not only the first galette I had ever had, it was also the first galette I had ever made.
Galettes can be savory or sweet, but with peaches in season I couldn't help myself.
I made this for company earlier in the week and it exceeded everyone's expectations. All that is needed with this dessert is a cup of coffee...and perhaps a dollop of whipped cream if so desired.
Peach Galette
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 8 1x
Ingredients
Units
Scale
For Sweet Buttery Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups flour (I used Lubella, but all-purpose is fine)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 2 teaspoons cream (heavy or light cream will do. If you have none on hand, full fat milk is fine)
For Peach Filling:
- 5 peaches, pitted, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- In a bowl, gently toss together sliced peaches, vanilla, starch and sugar. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Whisk in one egg until the mixture is crumbly.
- Add cold butter and shortening. Mix with hands until a soft dough begins to form.
- Add cream one teaspoon at a time - the amount of cream may vary.
- Form into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- On a flat surface, flour a sheet of parchment paper. Roll out chilled dough into a circle about ¼-inch thick.
- Spoon peaches into the center and gently use the parchment paper to fold over the edges of the dough (this is a very delicate dough). Lift the parchment paper to transfer the galette onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the center is bubbling and the edges are golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- If desired serve with whipped cream.
- Notes:
- Make sure the dough is really chilled when you are ready to roll it out. Do not let it sit to rest.
- It may seem too solid to roll out, but this dough is actually very soft.
- I purposefully used Lubella flour for this recipe. Their flour is super fine, and when mixed with butter has a very nice texture. The crust almost resembles a shortbread.
- If however you cannot find Lubella, or do not have it on hand, all-purpose will do.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 25 minutes

Hi Tammy, , you mentioned that you were going to make a Peach Galette the other day. Yours came out looking delicious and I am sure it was. I like the Galette's as it contains one crust, not two like a pie would be. Don't get me wrong, I love pies, but this is also great. I like to make apple ones, as well. I have never made a peach one and your dough looks lovely. I like the idea of a shortbread type of crust. Yummy! Easy and looks beautiful, especially for company. A great job! Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. Have a wonderful, blessed week ahead! Dottie 🙂
AnnMarie says
I would love to make this but I have sworn off peaches! Just can't seem to pick good ones. What kind do you use for baking? Pinning this for when I find the perfect peach!
Living the Gourmet says
Hi AnnMarie, Thank you so much for stopping by. Hmmm...well I'm not certain of the type of peach, I just grabbed what my local market had on sale that week. However, when shopping for peaches, make sure they are not too hard. Not that they should be overripe. Here's a great quick article on shopping for peaches - http://localfoods.about.com/od/peaches/a/How-To-Buy-Peaches.htm.
Cheers & best of luck my friend! 🙂

I've never made nor eaten a galette before (well not a proper one anyway), but I'm sure I'd love it- and I really like the rustic look of galettes! 🙂 Yours looks so good- especially the pastry! Love how the filling looks so juicy too!
Choc Chip Uru says
I am all for this wonderful galette, the peaches are one of the best fruit in the world 😀
YUM! The pastry looks so flaky, harbouring a nest of soft, fuzzy peaches - need it!

Shirley @ gfe & All Gluten-Free Desserts says
Galettes have that rustic look that sort of misleads folks on just how good they are. 😉 And a peach one is perfect for right now. I'd have to make a gluten-free version, but I'm sure it would be delicious. 🙂 Visiting from Full Plate Thursdays.

This looks so sweet and refreshing....perfect for the summer days. I have never made a galette and was wondering if rhubarb would be tasty in place of the peaches?
