  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 5 each small peaches, pitted and quartered

  • ½ tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • For the dough, whisk together the dry ingredients.

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Filling

  • For the filling, whisk together the dry ingredients. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface.
  • Toss the peaches with the vanilla and then sprinkle the sugar mixture on the peaches and stir to coat the peaches. Set aside.
  • Turn the dough between each roll to keep it from sticking to the surface and to make it round.

Assembly

  • Pile the peaches in the middle of the dough and fold up the edges—don’t worry if it’s messy—the sloppier it is, the more rustic you can pretend it is ;) .  Brush the dough with heavy cream. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on the moistened dough.
