Make the dough first because it needs time to chill.

In a food processor, combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pulse together.

Add 8 tablespoons of very cold unsalted butter, diced into half-inch cubes, to the food processor. Pulse 8 to 10 times until pea-sized pieces form.

Add 6 tablespoons of iced water gradually, pulsing between additions until the dough starts to clump together.

Dump the dough onto a clean surface and knead gently to form a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Transfer the dough to a floured sheet of parchment paper and roll it out into a 12-inch diameter circle.

Slide the rolled dough onto a baking sheet and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk together.

Slice 3 to 4 medium peaches into half-inch thick slices and add to a mixing bowl with the sugar mixture and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until combined.

Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and arrange the peaches over the dough, leaving a 2-inch border.

Fold the dough flaps over the peaches, pinching the edges to seal. Brush the edges with an egg wash made from 1 beaten large egg.

Sprinkle coarse sugar over the top of the galette and dot the peaches with 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the peach juices are syrupy.

Let the galette rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
