Servings

Serving your Peach Galette can be as delightful as making it! 🍑✨ Here are a few ideas to elevate your presentation and flavor pairing:

• **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. 🍽️🧺

Variations

Want to accommodate everyone at the table? Here are some **gluten-free** and **vegan** 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.
