Drizzle ice water over the flour mixture one tablespoon at a time. Toss with a fork until the dough just holds together when squeezed. Shape into a flat disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced peaches with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and ground ginger. Let sit for 10 minutes to allow the juices to slightly thicken.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Pile the peach mixture into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the peaches, pleating as you go to create a rustic border.
Brush the folded dough edges with the beaten egg wash. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar generously over the crust for a crunchy, sparkling finish.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the crust is deeply golden brown and the peach juices are bubbling in the center. Allow to cool on the pan for 15 minutes before slicing.
The garlic butter sauce is the star — pick sides that soak it up or balance the richness.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
Peeling is unnecessary for a galette. The skins soften beautifully during baking and provide a lovely pink hue to the filling.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated and use cornstarch in the filling to thicken the juices. You can also sprinkle a thin layer of breadcrumbs or ground almonds on the dough before adding the fruit.
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw them completely and drain excess liquid before tossing with the sugar and cornstarch.
Cardamom adds a complex, warm, and slightly citrusy aroma that cuts through the richness of the butter and highlights the floral notes of the peaches.
Absolutely. The dough can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before rolling.
