Rustic Peach Galette with Almonds

Preparation & Dough

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat.
• 2
  Separate the egg and place the yolk in a bowl (reserve the egg white for later). Add flour, diced cold butter, sugar, vanilla extract, finely grated lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Work into crumbles with your fingers. Add 25 ml cold water and quickly knead into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Filling & Baking

• 1
  Wash the peaches, halve them, remove the pits, and cut into thicker wedges.
• 2
  Divide the dough into two halves and roll each out on a floured surface into a circle of approx. 26 cm diameter. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and carefully place the dough circles on it.
• 3
  Arrange the peach wedges in a circle on the dough, leaving a border of approx. 4 cm free. Fold the dough edges over the filling. Brush the edges with the reserved egg white and sprinkle with almond flakes.
• 4
  Bake the galettes in the preheated oven for approx. 30 minutes until golden brown.
• 5
  Stir the honey smooth with a splash of water. Brush the still hot galettes with the honey mixture to give the fruit a nice glaze.
