Servings
• **A Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream:** There's nothing quite like the combination of warm peach galette with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. The cold and warm contrast will tantalize your taste buds.
• **Whipped Cream:** A dollop of freshly whipped cream adds a light and airy texture, perfectly complementing the peaches' sweetness.
• **Mint Garnish:** Add a sprig of fresh mint for a touch of color and a hint of refreshing flavor. It adds an elegant finish to each slice.
• **Honey Drizzle:** Drizzle a bit of honey over the top if you prefer an extra touch of sweetness. It's simple yet indulgent.
For a picnic-perfect setup, pack your Peach Galette, ice cream in a cooler, and a thermos of iced tea. Lay out a blanket under a shady tree and enjoy the blissful flavors in a serene setting. 🍽️🧺
Equipment
A medium-sized mixing bowl is ideal for combining your ingredients without spills. Make sure it's clean and dry for best results!
A rolling pin helps you get the dough to the perfect thickness. If you don't have one, a wine bottle can be a substitute in a pinch!
Choose a sturdy baking sheet to support the galette. For easy cleanup, line it with parchment paper.
Use a pastry brush for that golden finish. It ensures even coverage when brushing the edges with egg yolk.
Variations
**Gluten-Free Version:** Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it’s a one-to-one substitute, and add a pinch of xanthan gum if your blend doesn’t include it for better texture.
**Vegan Version:** Swap the butter with a plant-based alternative, such as vegan margarine or coconut oil. Replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes). Use a plant-based milk to brush the edges instead of egg yolk.
Faq
- Do I need to peel the peaches?
No, you don't need to peel the peaches. The skin adds a lovely color and additional nutrients. However, if you prefer a smoother texture, you can peel them.
- How can I tell if my dough is ready to use?
After refrigerating, your dough should be firm but pliable. If it’s too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before rolling out.
- What is the purpose of refrigerating the dough?
Refrigerating the dough helps it relax and firm up, making it easier to roll out and resulting in a flakier crust when baked.
- Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw them first and drain any excess liquid to avoid a soggy crust.
- What can I substitute for cornstarch?
You can use tapioca flour or arrowroot powder as an alternative to cornstarch for thickening the filling.
- How do I prevent the galette's edges from burning?
If the edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil halfway through the baking process.
