Crust
- 1 Package Active Dry Yeast
- ¼ Cup Lukewarm Water
- 2 Cups All Purpose Flour, OR (2 Cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour)
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- 1 Fine Sea Salt
- ¾ Cup Unsalted Butter – 1/2” pieces
- 1 Large Egg, lightly beaten
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- “Bench” Flour
Fruit Filling
- 4 Large Ripe Peaches – 1/4” slices

- ¼ Cup Sugar
Topping
- 2 Tablespoons Raw Sugar (Turbinado or Demedera)
- 1 Egg White
Before you Begin
Preheat the Oven to 400F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step One
Combine yeast and warm water in a one-cup measure, let stand 5 minutes. Place flour, 1/4-cup sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add the butter, pulsing until the mixture looks like coarse meal. Combine the yeast mixture, the egg and vanilla. Slowly add it to the flour; process until the dough clumps together and begins to form a ball. On a cutting board sprinkled with the “bench” flour, (a couple of TB of extra flour), shape the dough into a flat disc, cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Step Two
Combine the filling ingredients and toss to coat.
Step Three
Remove the dough from the fridge, and pat the dough with your fingers into a free formed circle on the parchment covered sheet pan. Spread the Peach filling over the dough to within 1 inch of the edge. Fold the edges of the dough over the fruit. Paint the exposed crust with the egg white, and then sprinkle the crust with the turbinado sugar. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Armani Moscato Spumante
Valdadige, Veneto, Italy
About $18.00
Moscato is an aromatic white wine
that can be enjoyed as a still wine or a sparkler. When smelling, you’ll notice aromas of citrus, orange flowers and peaches. When you taste it, you’ll enjoy a soft and slight sweet taste with bright notes of peaches, pears and apricots. This is lovely with a fruit dessert like this galette as it complements the fresh fruit flavor without overpowering the delicate sweetness of the peaches. Bonus! It has a lower alcohol to accompany a yummy dessert like this one.
