Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, good quality
- 1/2 cup (60g) almond flour, finely ground
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup (60ml) ice water, very cold
- 1 egg (for egg wash), room temperature
- 1 tbsp (15ml) milk (for egg wash)
- Sliced almonds, for sprinkling
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
- 2 tbsp (30g) softened unsalted butter
- 1 egg (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup (60g) almond flour (for frangipane)
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for frangipane)
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups (about 2–3 medium ripe peaches) sliced peaches
- 1 cup (150g) blueberries
- 1 tbsp (15g) granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tbsp (8g) almond flour (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep Your Oven: Start by heating your oven to 375 degrees F. A hot oven is essential for browning the crust properly. Allow sufficient time for the oven to preheat.
- Roll Out The Dough: Retrieve the chilled dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Aim for a rustic circle shape, ensuring the dough does not become too thin.
- Spread The Frangipane: Spoon the almond frangipane onto the rolled-out dough, leaving space around the edges for folding.
- Add Fruit Generously: Evenly distribute the sliced peaches and blueberries over the frangipane to enhance visual appeal and flavor.
- Fold The Edges: Gently fold the outer edges of the dough over the fruit to create a rustic appearance, allowing the fruit to peek through.
- Brush & Sprinkle: Apply an egg wash over the crust and lightly sprinkle coarse sugar on top for a golden finish.
- Bake & Enjoy The Aroma: Place the galette in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Watch it closely, covering the edges with foil if they start to darken too quickly.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the galette to cool on a rack until firm to the touch but still warm.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Expert Tips: Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour prior to rolling to ensure a flaky texture. Avoid adding any fruit juices to prevent a soggy filling. If dough is crumbly, add an extra tablespoon of ice water at a time to bring it together. For well-cooked filling, toss the fruit with almond flour to absorb moisture.
- Reheating Instructions: To reheat, place slices in a 350 degrees F oven for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or pair with fresh whipped cream for added indulgence. A drizzle of honey works beautifully as well.
- Recipe Variations: Substitute peaches with nectarines for a different flavor twist. Add a dash of cinnamon to the filling for warmth, or use mixed berries instead of blueberries for variety.
- Ingredient Notes: Choose ripe but firm peaches for the optimal texture. If almond flour is unavailable, all-purpose flour or a gluten-free blend can be used, though the flavor will be different.
