This week the bloggers with French Fridays with Dorie are celebrating a special birthday. Dorie’s! And we are doing it by making one of the sweet treats from her Baking Chez Moi, which comes out nest Friday. But her birthday is first so, Dorie, this Tourte is for you.

P1050191

You can find the recipe on her blog – In the kitchen and on the road with Dorie. She is generous enough to share several of her recipes from the new book on her site.

This is a tourte – a tart, basically, with two crusts. The crusts are made from the Sweet Tart Dough from BFMHTY (but you can find it here). It will also be in the new book – which you need to buy NOW!! It has always been my favorite crust.

Between the two crusts is a combination of peaches, sugar, flour, and almond ( or vanilla) extract.

    Oh, Yeah!!

I added a little extra sugar because we are WAY past peach season here in Louisiana and the ones I found were pretty but not sweet.

The only problem I had was with the top crust which simply would NOT remove itself from the parchment. I cut it in quarters to transfer it. In the end it was just fine. I really wish I had had some of Dorie’s Honey Peach Ice Cream to go with it.

Several years ago we baked our way through Dorie’s Baking From My Home To Yours. Now – starting November 11, we will be baking our way through Baking Chex Moi. If you want to join us – visit the TWD site – for everything you need to know.
