Logistically, the galette is a free-form pie, with a rustically shaped flaky crust showing off a thick fruity filling. Galettes aren’t necessarily always circular—square and rectangular are options—but like pies, round galettes serve up slices with the perfect crust-to-filling ratio. Our Peach Frangipane Galette boasts an almond-peach combo with a tender sour cream crust and is the perfect reason to keep frozen fruit on hand.
Peach Frangipane Galette
Makes 1 (9½-inch) galette
Ingredients
- Sour Cream Galette Dough (recipe follows)
- Frangipane (recipe follows)
- 3½ cups (543 grams) thawed frozen sliced peaches

Sour Cream Galette Dough
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1½ tablespoons (18 grams) granulated sugar
- 1¼ teaspoons (3.75 grams) kosher salt
- ⅔ cup (150 grams) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¼ cup (60 grams) cold sour cream
- 4 to 5 tablespoons (60 to 75 grams) ice water
Instructions
- In the work bowl of a food processor, place flour, sugar, and salt; pulse until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture is crumbly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cold sour cream and 4 tablespoons (60 grams) ice water. With processor running, add sour cream mixture in a slow, steady stream just until dough comes together; add up to remaining 1 tablespoon (15 grams) ice water if mixture is too dry. (Mixture may appear crumbly. It should be moist and hold together when pinched.) Turn out dough, and shape into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
