Peach Galetta step by step

Recipe

Ingredients


For the dough:


115 g butter (cold)

150 g farm cheese (tvorog)

250–300 g all-purpose flour

1 egg

2–3 tbsp sugar

1–2 tbsp starch (cornstarch or potato starch)

pinch of salt (optional)


For the filling:


5 ripe peaches

1–2 tbsp sugar (to taste)

1 tbsp starch (to prevent excess juice)


Instructions


1. Make the dough:

Mix cold butter with flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add cottage cheese, egg, sugar, and starch. Knead until you get a soft, pliable dough. It should not be sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30–40 minutes.


2. Prepare the filling:

Slice the peaches and mix them with sugar and starch.


3. Shape the galette:

Roll out the dough into a circle. Place the peaches in the center, leaving a 3–4 cm border. Fold the edges over the fruit.

4. Bake:

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 35–40 minutes, until golden brown.
