Peach Galette with Puff Pastry, Honey & Thyme

Sep 27cooking tips, recipes
Jump to Recipe

This peach galette with puff pastry is the perfect balance between sophisticated and simple. Puff pastry seems extravagant, but it has nearly identical ingredients to pie crust – just prepared in a different way. Peaches, honey, and thyme are all flavors that remind me of “the country.” Classic ingredients that don’t need a lot of hype.

You can always buy sheets of puff pastry, but “rough puff” is really easy to make and just as good as the real deal. All-butter puff pastry is significantly better than other varieties, so get yourself to a Trader Joe’s and stock up! Their puff pastry is only $4 per box, while the other all-butter brands can run as high as $15 per box (hell no). Last Christmas, I was faced with paying for expensive puff pastry or trying my hand at a rough puff. Now I’m a die-hard rough puff girl.

How to make rough puff pastry

If you’re making the rough puff, start the day before or early on so your pastry has plenty of time to chill. You’ll start by loosely mixing the flour, butter, and water together, chilling, and then rolling out and folding the dough three times.

Start by combining two cups (250g) of flour with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Roughly break 1 1/8 cups (250g) of butter into the flour and use your fingers to loosely combine it with the flour. The butter needs to be really chunky; the mixture should be coarse. Make a well in the bowl and add 1/2 cup of cold water. Cover and chill for 20-30 minutes.

On a lightly floured board, shape the dough into a smooth rectangle. Roll the dough, in one direction only, until it is about 5×15 inches. Try to keep the edges even, and as you roll you should see streaks of butter that aren’t mixed in. As the butter melts in the oven, it creates steam between the layers, which cause the “puff.” Fold the top third down, then fold the bottom third up over that to make a 5×5 square. Give it a quarter turn, roll it out to a 5×15 sheet, fold it in thirds, and repeat once more. You’re going for layers, like so:

Wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but preferably overnight. This recipe makes two sheets of puff pastry, so you can freeze the other half for up to a month (or use it in my upcoming apple dumplings with puff pastry recipe!).

How to make a peach galette with puff pastry

Make sure your puff pastry has thawed if it’s storebought. Wash, peel and cut your peaches into 1/8 inch slices. In my experience, if your peaches are perfectly ripe, the skin will come right off. If that’s not working, peel the peaches with a knife or blanch them so the skins come right off.

Mix the peach slices with honey, thyme leaves, tapioca or corn starch, and a pinch of salt. Roll out your puff pastry to a 12×12 inch square on a piece of parchment paper. Next, stack the peach slices in an 8-inch circle in the middle of your pastry. Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches however you’d like. The spirit of the galette is “freeform,” but I folded it into a honeycomb shape because I couldn’t help myself.

Transfer the galette and parchment paper to a baking sheet. Finally, brush the pastry with an egg wash and bake it in a 400º oven for 20-25 minutes.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if you’re feeling it!

On this, the last day of summer, I bring you: a pe On this, the last day of summer, I bring you: a peach buttermilk ice cream recipe (with no eggs!)
🍑
I was given about 40 lbs of free peaches this summer, so I’ve been deep in peach recipe testing mode. I narrowed it down to three really great ones, including this sweet/fruity/slightly tangy peach ice cream variation. 🍦
How are you sending summer out?

These Apple Cider Sourdoughnuts are maybe the best These Apple Cider Sourdoughnuts are maybe the best I’ve ever had. Sourdough just works so well with apple and cinnamon!
🍎 
The dough is kinda tricky to work with, as you can see from the “rustic” shape of the doughnuts. They go from nearly flat pieces of dough to airy clouds of cinnamon & sugar with a hint of apple cider in a few minutes. Definitely worth the wait! Check the link in my profile for the recipe.
Now that summer is over, I’ve been researching w Now that summer is over, I’ve been researching ways to preserve the fresh herbs I grew! 🤓 Most herbs can be blended with salt to keep the fresh flavor on hand all year long. The salt can be used in recipes just like any other salt, or as a flavorful finishing salt. 🌿🧂
•
I used a variegated Berggarten sage to try this method and I’m addicted to the result! I am going to use this in so many fall recipes. 🤤
•
I’ve read that basil, which doesn’t keep that well as a dried herb, retains a lot of flavor with this method. I wish I had known that when my Thai basil plant was going strong this summer🤦🏻‍♀️
•
Herbed salts seem like a great homemade gift, too. I’m working on a “gifts you can grow” post and this will be at the top of the list!
Peach, Honey & Thyme Galette | 🍑

I promise this is the last peach recipe for a while - I had so. many. peaches. to get through 😅
I won’t lie to you; I had this for breakfast last week on my birthday and I regret nothing.
🍯
The thyme and honey add sweet, rich, herbal goodness to peaches that are already so good! Do you have any favorite herb & fruit flavor combinations? Apple & fennel is another fave of mine.

So many burning bushes, which can be really pretty but, also can get HUGE. 3️⃣ is where I ended the day! Boxes to be leveled once the ground thaws 😅 I’m documenting as much as possible in my “Yard to Farm” story highlight!
