    rustic peach galette labeled ingredients.
    • Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches are sliced and used as the filling for the galette.
    • Cornstarch: Added to the peach filling to thicken it and create a syrupy texture.
    • Monk Fruit Sweetener: This natural sweetener is used to sweeten both the peach filling and the crust.
    • All-Purpose Flour: This is the base of the crust and provides the structure for the galette.
    • Salt: Just a pinch of salt is added to enhance the flavor of the crust.
    • Salted Butter: The butter is cut into small cubes and added to the flour mixture to create a flaky and tender crust.
    • Plain Greek Yogurt: The Greek yogurt adds moisture and a tangy flavor to the crust.
    • Eggs: Brushed onto the crust.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    For the filling:

    Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

    Step 2:

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced peaches, cornstarch, and monk fruit sweetener. Toss the mixture until the peaches are coated evenly. Set aside the filling while you prepare the crust.

    For the crust:

    Step 1:

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined.

    Step 2:

    Add the cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.

    Step 3:

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, monk fruit sweetener, and egg until smooth.

    Step 4:

    Pour the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.

    Step 5:

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the rolled out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Step 6:

    Place the peach filling in the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of space around the edges.

    Step 7:

    Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, leaving the center exposed.

    Step 8:

    Brush the egg onto the crust, then sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 25 minutes, or until crust is lightly browned.

    Expert Tips

    • Use ripe but firm peaches. Look for peaches that are fragrant and have a slight give when pressed. They should be firm enough to hold their shape when sliced.
    • Use a light hand when rolling out the dough. Be gentle when rolling out the dough to avoid tearing or stretching it too thin.
    • Leave a border when filling the galette. Leave a border of about 2 inches around the edge of the dough when adding the peach filling. This will allow you to fold the edges up and over the filling to create the rustic, free-form shape.
    • Use cornstarch to thicken the filling. Tossing the peach slices with cornstarch and monk fruit sweetener before adding them to the galette will help to thicken the juices and prevent them from making the crust soggy.
    • Brush the crust with egg wash. This will give the crust a golden brown color and a shiny finish.
    • Let the galette cool before slicing. Allow the galette to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing it. This will allow the filling to set and prevent it from spilling out when you cut into it.

    Variations

    • Add spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the peach filling for a warm and cozy flavor.
    • Use different fruits: Swap the peaches for other fruits, such as apples, pears, berries, or plums, depending on what's in season.
    • Add nuts: Sprinkle chopped nuts, such as almonds or pecans, over the peach filling before baking for added texture and flavor.
    • Make mini galettes: Instead of one large galette, divide the dough into smaller portions and make individual mini galettes.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Once baked, let the rustic peach galette cool completely before storing it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. After that, store it in the refrigerator for an additional 2-3 days.

    Freezing: You can freeze the rustic peach galette either before or after baking it. To freeze before baking, assemble the galette and freeze it on a baking sheet until solid, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To bake, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as directed.

    To freeze after baking, let the galette cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months. To serve, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?

    Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but make sure to thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using them in the galette.

    Can I use a different type of flour for the crust?

    Yes, you can use different types of flour, such as whole wheat flour or almond flour, but the texture and flavor of the crust may be slightly different.

    Can I make the dough ahead of time?

    Yes, you can make the dough up to 2 days ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.

    Can I skip the egg wash on the crust?

    Yes, you can skip the egg wash, but it won't have the same shiny and golden brown appearance.
