Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für zusätzlichen Geschmack kann eine Prise Zimt zur Fruchtfüllung gegeben werden. Der Teig und die Frangipane lassen sich auch im Voraus zubereiten und über Nacht im Kühlschrank aufbewahren, was die Zubereitungszeit am Backtag verkürzt. Achten Sie darauf, dass die Butter für den Teig sehr kalt ist, um eine besonders blättrige Kruste zu erzielen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Diese Galette ist sehr wandelbar: Sie können jede Kombination von sommerlichen Steinfrüchten verwenden, je nach Saison und Verfügbarkeit. Für eine nussfreie Variante lässt sich die Frangipane eventuell durch eine Vanillecreme ersetzen, wobei das ursprüngliche Rezept hier strikt eingehalten wird. Zusätzliche Gewürze wie Muskatnuss oder Kardamom passen auch gut zu den Früchten.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie die Galette warm oder bei Raumtemperatur. Ein Klecks Vanilleeis oder geschlagene Sahne rundet das Dessert perfekt ab, bringt eine kühle Cremigkeit und verstärkt den Genuss der warmen, saftigen Früchte.

Step-by-step Directions

Step 01

Prepare the Pastry Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut in using a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing just until dough comes together. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

Step 02

Make the Frangipane Filling: In a mixing bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then fold in almond flour, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

Step 03

Prepare the Fruit Mixture: In a separate bowl, gently toss the sliced stone fruits with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and fresh lemon juice until evenly coated.

Step 04

Assemble the Galette: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Spread frangipane evenly over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange the stone fruits over the frangipane layer.

Step 05

Form the Pastry Edges: Fold the pastry edges up and over the filling, pleating as needed to create a rustic appearance. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 06

Bake the Galette: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling at the edges. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
