Steps:
- To make the pastry, combine the flours, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until blended. Scatter the butter over the flour mixture and pulse until it looks like coarse sand. (Alternatively, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and work the mixture with a pastry blender until it has a sand-like texture.) In a small bowl or cup, whisk together the 1 egg and the milk until blended, pour into the food processor or bowl all at once, and pulse or gently mix by hand until the dough forms a rough clump. Do not overwork the dough to avoid toughness.
- Lightly flour a work surface. Transfer the dough to the floured surface, form it into a ball, and then flatten into a disk 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Don't knead it! Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours or for up to 1 day.
- When the dough is well chilled, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it warm at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, the flour, and the cinnamon, mixing well. Place the peaches in a bowl, sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top, and toss gently. (If the peaches are tart, you may want to add a little more sugar.)
- Lay a large sheet of parchment paper on a work surface and dust the parchment with flour. Place the dough on the floured parchment and roll it out into a round about 11 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the pastry with the parchment to a rimmed or rimless baking sheet large enough to accommodate the pastry round comfortably. Starting 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the round, arrange the peach wedges in a single layer in concentric circles, continuing until you reach the center of the round. Fold the outer edges of the pastry over the peaches, creating overlapping folds as you work around the perimeter. If your peaches are extra juicy, leave the extra juice in the bowl so that the filling does not overflow in the oven. Brush the pastry border with 1 tablespoon beaten egg and then sprinkle lightly with the turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling. If your galette has a lot of juice, you may want to place a second pan on the lowest rack in the oven under the baking sheet to catch any juices that overflow.
- Let the galette cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack. Cut into wedges to serve.
PEACH GALETTE
Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll the two pie doughs. Overlap the dough by 3 inches to make a long, rectangular shape. Using a rolling pin, roll back and forth over just the center of the dough to bind them together, close the gaps between the two circles, and make it an even thickness. Transfer to a large, parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Preheat the oven to 425˚.
- Combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the peach slices and lemon juice and toss gently to coat.
- Arrange the peaches in a single layer on the pie dough, overlapping slightly, leaving a 1 ½-inch border. Fold the edges of the dough over the outer edge of the peaches, crimping every 3- to 4-inches, to keep the crust flat against the fruit. Brush the edges of the dough all over with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Drizzle ¼ cup of the liquid left in the mixing bowl over the peaches.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375˚ and bake for another 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then slide the galette, on the parchment paper, to a cooling rack. Let cool at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce, if you like.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Work in the butter until it is in pea-size pieces.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Make the filling: Toss the peaches and plums with the granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Arrange the fruit over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold in the edge of the dough, pleating as needed.

FRENCH APPLE GALETTES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Unfold the sheets of puff pastry and cut each sheet into quarters. Place the pastry pieces on the prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you prepare the apples.
- Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stems. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baler. Slice the apples crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally across each piece of pastry and place a slice of apple on each side. Sprinkle the full 3/4 cup of sugar over all the pastry pieces and dot with the butter.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Rotate the pan once during cooking. If the pastry puffs up in one area, cut a little slit with a knife to let the air out. Don't worry! The apple juices will burn in the pan but the galettes will be fine! When the galettes are done, heat the apricot jelly together with the Calvados and brush the apples and pastry completely with the jelly mixture. Loosen the galettes with a metal spatula so they don't stick to the paper. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
SUMMER FRUIT CROSTATA
Steps:
- For the pastry:
- Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and toss quickly (and carefully!) with your fingers to coat each cube of butter with the flour. Pulse 12 to 15 times, or until the butter is the size of peas. With the motor running, add the ice water all at once through the feed tube. Keep hitting the pulse button to combine, but stop the machine just before the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board, roll it into a ball, cut in half, and form into 2 flat disks. Wrap the disks in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If you only need 1 disk of dough The other disk of dough can be frozen.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pastry into an 11-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to the baking sheet.
- For the pastry (makes 2 crostatas) .
- For the filling:
- Cut the peaches and plums in wedges and place them in a bowl with the blueberries. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of the flour, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the orange zest, and the orange juice. Place the mixed fruit on the dough circle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border.
- Combine the 1/4 cup flour, the 1/4 cup sugar, and the salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Pour into a bowl and rub it with your fingers until it starts to hold together. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit. Gently fold the border of the pastry over the fruit, pleating it to make an edge.
- Bake the crostata for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fruit is tender. Let the crostata cool for 5 minutes, then use 2 large spatulas to transfer it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
