Instructions:
- Start with the dough by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the yogurt and ice water, then knead briefly until it forms a smooth dough. Chill the dough wrapped in foil for an hour.

- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle a bit of cornstarch and ground almonds over the dough. Arrange the peach slices on top, leaving a 4 cm border.
- Gently fold the edges of the dough over the peaches. Brush the crust with a bit of peach juice and garnish with almond slices.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the peaches.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes until the galette is golden brown.
