Sweet Pastry Dough
Combine in a stand mixer bowl:

5.5 oz all purpose flour
5 oz cake flour
2 oz powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cut in, just until the butter is the size of small peas:

4 oz Butter, cold & cubed

With the paddle stir in until uniform:

1 large egg
1 egg yolk

Mix just until combined. Remove from mixer and place on a lightly floured piece of parchment. Chill for about an hour.

Peach Filling
Peel and core:

6-8 large ripe peaches

Toss with:

1 cup organic sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon cornstarch OR ½ teaspoon arrowroot

Pour peach mixture into the pan. Roll out the sweet dough to the perimeter of the pan and place on top of the peaches. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the peaches are bubbling. Allow to cool completely before placing a plate on top of the pan and flipping to invert and unmold.
