Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – 1 ¼ cups (150g), sifted
  • Unsalted butter – ½ cup (115g), cold and cubed
  • Honey – 2 tablespoons (for dough)
  • Granulated sugar – 1 tablespoon
  • Salt – ¼ teaspoon
  • Cold water – 3-4 tablespoons
  • Ground cardamom – ½ teaspoon (for dough)
  • Fresh peaches – 4 medium, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Honey – 3 tablespoons (for filling)
  • Ground cardamom – ¼ teaspoon (for filling)
  • Fresh lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
  • Cornstarch – 1 tablespoon
  • Ground cinnamon – ¼ teaspoon (optional)
  • Egg – 1 large, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar – 1 tablespoon (for crust)
  • Extra honey – for drizzling before serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cardamom.
  2. Add ½ cup cold cubed unsalted butter and cut into the flour using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey, then gradually add 3-4 tablespoons cold water, mixing gently until dough just comes together.
  4. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Peel and thinly slice 4 medium peaches. Toss peaches with 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon if using. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  6. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface or between parchment sheets into a 12-inch circle about ¼ inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Spoon peach mixture onto center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over filling, pleating as needed, leaving center exposed.
  8. Brush dough edges with beaten egg and sprinkle 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar over crust.
  9. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and filling bubbles. Tent with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  10. Cool galette on a rack for at least 15 minutes. Drizzle with extra honey before serving.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold to ensure flaky dough. Do not overwork dough to avoid toughness. Blanch peaches for easy peeling. Use cornstarch to prevent soggy crust. Chilling dough helps create flaky layers. If crust browns too fast, tent with foil. Can substitute gluten-free flour or vegan butter for dietary needs.
