A rustic and flaky galette featuring honey roasted peaches and a nutty brown butter crust, perfect for seasonal gatherings and easy dessert plans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • 4–5 ripe peaches, sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: Melt 1 cup unsalted butter over medium heat in a light-colored saucepan, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Slowly pour in the warm brown butter, mixing until crumbly. Add 3 tablespoons ice-cold water gradually until dough comes together; add extra tablespoon if needed.
  3. Chill the dough: Form dough into a 1-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare the peaches: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sliced peaches with honey, lemon juice, cinnamon (if using), and 1 tablespoon flour. Spread on parchment-lined baking sheet and roast 15-20 minutes until soft and juices thicken. Let cool.
  5. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Assemble the galette: Spoon roasted peaches onto dough center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over fruit, pleating to create rustic edge. Brush edges with beaten egg and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
  7. Bake: Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden and fruit bubbly. Tent with foil if edges brown too quickly.
  8. Cool and serve: Let galette cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Keep hands cool and work quickly when rolling dough to prevent butter melting. Chill dough if sticky. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too fast. Use a light-colored pan to brown butter and watch carefully to avoid burning. Roasting peaches with honey enhances natural sweetness and thickens juices with flour to prevent soggy crust.
