Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 4–5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced (about 4 cups or 600g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or light brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon warm water

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits remaining (about 4-5 minutes).
  2. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of ice-cold water over the mixture. Gently toss with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add the remaining tablespoon if needed. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Peel and slice the peaches about 1/4 inch thick. Toss them with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and fresh basil chiffonade. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pile the peach mixture into the center of the dough, leaving about a 2-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough up over the peaches, pleating as needed to form a rough circle.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the galette for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Mix honey and warm water. Brush the honey glaze evenly over the hot galette as soon as it comes out of the oven. Let cool at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for a flaky crust. Do not overwork dough. Peel peaches for best texture. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Tent edges with foil if browning too fast. Let galette cool before slicing to set filling. Honey glaze should be brushed while galette is hot for best shine.
