- Make the dough by combining the flour, granulated sugar, and salt in food processor. Then add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles the size of peas.
- Pulse in one tablespoon of water at a time, being sure not to over process.
- Turn the mixture out onto a clean surface and press together until a dough forms. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, and basil and simmer for a minute. Remove from heat.
- Wash and halve the peaches, then cut them into large slices. Grill the on an oiled grill pan, medium heat, for 2 minutes on each side. Let cool.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a rough 12 inch round. Carefully move the dough onto a parchment lined pan.
- Assemble the peaches on the dough.
- Fold up the edges of the dough around the peaches to prevent the juices from spilling. Drizzle or brush honey on top of the peaches.
- Beat the egg with 2 teaspoons of water. Brush the eggwash on the top and edges of the dough. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top of the eggwashed dough.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden. Let cool for at least 20 minutes to let the juices settle and for a a crisper crust.
