Notes
- It is important to let the dough chill for at least two hours in the fridge. Chilling allows it to be easier to work with and helps prevent shrinkage when baking.
- You also want to make sure you don’t overwork your dough. Too much mixing and rolling can cause the dough to become tough and lose its flakiness.
- You can store this peach galette, loosely covered, for up to two days at room temperature. It can also be stored in the fridge for up to four days. You want to make sure to avoid keeping your peach galette in the heat.
- You may also store this galette frozen, both unbaked and baked for up to four months in the freezer. For a baked galette, allow it to completely freeze uncovered then wrap it and place it back in the freezer. For an unbaked pie, allow it to freeze completely, wrap it, and then bake according to directions.
- If you want to add some more flavor, you can add half a cup of raspberries. The raspberries and peaches pair perfectly together, creating a delicious sweet and tart taste.
