INSTRUCTIONS
For pastry
- In a bowl, combine sifted flour, salt, cinnamon and powdered sugar.
- Add olive oil and incorporate it into the flour mixture with your hands. Add the water tablespoon by tablespoon (about 4 tbsp- you may need a little less or more depending on the absorbency of your flour).
- Combine into a dough, but do not knead.
- Roll a ½ cm thick circle of dough on a large piece of baking parchment paper.
- Place it on a tray and chill in the fridge for about 45-60 mins.
For almond meal made with the NutraMilk
- Place almonds in the NutraMilk container.
- Press Mix cycle, set for 1 minute (default time).
- Press Start.
- Open the container lid.
- If necessary, set for an additional minute for a finer consistency.
*If you don’t have almond butter already made- you can add one more cup of almonds and make butter after the almond meal. For instructions - see following recipe. If you don’t have a plant-based milk already made- check out our almond milk recipe.
For Filling
- Set the oven to 350F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond meal, sugar and cinnamon.
- Incorporate almond butter and combine all together.
For galette
- Take chilled pastry out of the fridge.
- Put almond filling in the middle of the dough leaving 2 cm margin all around. Drizzle almond milk all over the filling to moisten it.
- Arrange peach slices on the top and make sure there are no gaps in between the slices.
- Crimp the pastry around the fruit in a rustic fashion. You can trim uneven edges if you want.
- Using a pastry brush, apply apricot glaze to the pastry and fruit to give the pastry a nice shine and to prevent the fruit from drying out. Leave half of the glaze for later.
- Protect the top with a piece of kitchen foil and bake for about 60-70 mins, depending on how dark you like your pastry.
- After 45 minutes, remove the foil from the top to allow the pastry to brown.
- Once the galette is out of the oven, apply apricot glaze to the pastry to give it a bit of a shine. Scatter almonds on top. Enjoy!
