Ingredients

Servings 6

1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water
3 medium ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons honey, plus extra for drizzling
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour and salt.
Add the cold diced butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
Gradually add ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together when pressed. Avoid overworking the dough.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, gently toss the peach slices with fresh thyme, honey, cornstarch, and lemon juice until evenly coated. This will help thicken the juices during baking.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a roughly 12-inch circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer it carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the peach mixture in the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border all around free of filling.
Fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating as needed to make a rustic round galette. The center will remain open, showing the fruit.
(Optional) Brush the dough crust edges lightly with beaten egg for a golden sheen.
Bake the galette in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling and tender.
Remove the galette from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
Drizzle additional honey over the warm galette before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your rustic peach and thyme breakfast galette warm or at room temperature, perfect alongside a cup of coffee or tea.
