Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine *all dough ingredients* - cottage cheese, flour, egg, baking powder, sugar, and butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until a dough forms.
*Chill the dough* in the refrigerator for at least half an hour to make it easier to roll out later.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix together *all filling ingredients* - cottage cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Step 3
Split the peaches into halves and slice them into thin wedges. They will serve as a juicy, sweet topping for your galette.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to *180°C (350°F)*. Roll out the chilled dough into a large circle on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface.
In the center, spread the cottage cheese filling and then arrange the peach slices on top. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating pleats as needed. Brush the crust with *beaten egg* to achieve a golden brown finish during baking.
*Optionally*, sprinkle some sugar on top for extra sweetness.
Step 5
Transfer the galette onto a baking sheet. Bake it in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are tender.
Step 6
Once baked, allow the galette to cool slightly. *Sprinkle powdered sugar* on top if desired. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. *Enjoy*!❤️
Servings
Equipment
A large bowl is ideal for combining your ingredients smoothly. Ensure it has enough space for mixing without any spillovers.
Roll out your dough to achieve that perfect circular shape. A wooden rolling pin maintains an even pressure more easily.
Use a non-stick baking sheet or line with parchment paper to prevent your galette from sticking. This will also make clean-up much easier.
Perfect for brushing an egg wash over the edges of your galette, giving it a beautiful golden finish.
Variations
Faq
- Why is my dough too sticky?
Ensure you're using the correct amount of flour and cold ingredients. Sometimes, humidity can affect dough consistency, so feel free to add a bit more flour if needed.
- Can I prepare the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the dough up to two days in advance. Just wrap it in plastic and store it in the fridge.
- How can I ensure my galette holds its shape?
Chilling your dough before rolling and filling is crucial. This allows the butter to firm up, resulting in a better hold and flake.
- What other fruits can I use instead of peaches?
Feel free to experiment with apricots, plums, or even berries like blueberries or raspberries. Just adjust the sugar level to match the fruits' sweetness.
- How to achieve a really crispy crust?
Brush the edges with an egg wash and sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top before baking. This will give it an extra crunch and sweetness.
- Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes, wrap the leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. To reheat, pop the slices in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
