This past weekend was a whirlwind of events. My Omi and Papa (that’s German for Grams and Gramps) were in town, my mom and sister flew in too and on top of that we had a bridal shower and a wedding to attend! We were busy! The whole weekend was perfect except for when I dropped a bowl onto my foot (which broke on my 2nd toe) by accident… and, well, lets just say I am glad I still have all 10 of my toes… it was ugly… luckily for me I didn’t have to get stitches. On top off all that, I even managed to squeeze in a dinner party of 7 on Friday night. I served a variety of things but my favorite dish of the night was dessert. This peach galette paired perfectly with some serious vanilla ice cream. Holy cow. It’s a good thing I had people over to share it with me… because I have no doubt in my mind that I could have eaten the entire galette and quart of ice cream by myself.
It was a perfect summer dessert. The warm galette had a super flaky and buttery crust and the peaches were perfectly ripe meanwhile the ice cream cooled everything down!
Peach Galette
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup cold and cut unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup ice water
- 3 ripe peaches pit removed and sliced
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- **egg wash or melted butter**
Instructions
- In a food processor combine the flour, salt, sugar, and butter. Pulse for about 10 seconds until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Slowly add the ice water while pulsing. Once the dough starts to pull together stop pulsing and remove from the food processor. Pack the dough into a disk shape, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Once chilled, remove the dough from the fridge and roll out into a rectangle shape about 1/3 inch thick. Arrange the sliced peaches on the dough and then fold the sides of the dough over. Sprinkle with the sugar. Brush the sides of the dough with the egg wash or melted butter and bake in a 375 degree oven until the dough is golden brown and flaky.
