### 👩‍🍳 How to Make It

#### 1. **Make the Dough**

* In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar.
* Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
* Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, just until the dough holds together.
* Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for **at least 30 minutes**.

#### 2. **Prepare the Filling**

* In a bowl, gently toss peach slices with brown sugar, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla (or lemon), and cinnamon if using.
* Let sit while the dough chills — this helps the peaches release some juice and marry the flavors.

#### 3. **Assemble the Galette**

* Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
* On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle (rustic edges are perfect).
* Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
* Spoon the peaches into the center, leaving a 2-inch border.
* Fold the edges of the dough up and over the peaches, pleating naturally.

#### 4. **Finish and Bake**

* Whisk the egg with milk or cream and brush over the crust.
* Sprinkle the crust (and a little on the peaches) with coarse sugar for crunch.
* Bake for **35–40 minutes**, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
