Peach Galette




Baking partners challenge for this month is Galette. When Swathi asked me to make and share this recipe, I was excited to try and immediately decided to make one with a peach filling.
Galette is an open crust French pie. It has a flaky pastry dough like pies and tarts and a filling that can be either sweet or savory. They have a very rustic look. The filling is placed in the center and the dough is folded in an over lapping fashion on top of the filling. Galettes are perfect for pot luck parties as they are sliced and served like a pizza. You can make with any kind of fruit like peach, strawberry, blueberry or apples. Try using tomatoes/sun dried tomatoes, sausages,meat and cheese if you like the savory version.

Slowly add ice cold water,two tbs at a time and mix until the dough starts coming together. make sure that the dough masses together roughly but the butter pieces remain about the same size.
Transfer this into a lightly floured work surface.Flatten like a rectangle rapidly push the dough with heal of your palm to the side away from you,starting from the top left corner to the bottom facing you.
 Rapidly pat and smooth the top. Lift the dough off work surface using a pastry sheet. Flip the bottom of the rectangle to the middle and the top down to cover it like an envelop.Tuck the two sides towards the bottom. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour to relax the gluten.

Meanwhile make the filling. Pit and slice peaches into 1/4 or half inch slices. Add sugar, vanilla, corn starch and juice of half lemon, mix and set aside. Repeat this with the berries too.

Pre heat oven to 350 degree F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
