Artificial Flavors Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
A great galette starts with great dough, and this one is built entirely from pantry staples you can actually trust. Flour, salt, sugar, real unsalted butter, apple cider vinegar, and ice water — that's the whole list, nothing hidden, nothing synthetic. For anyone navigating store-bought pie crusts and pre-made pastry doughs loaded with "natural and artificial flavors," making your own from scratch is genuinely liberating. The apple cider vinegar is a clever touch that keeps the gluten relaxed and the crust tender without adding any off-flavors or mystery additives. Working cold butter into the flour until you get those shaggy, pea-sized pieces is what creates those gorgeous flaky layers once it hits the oven. The dough chills into a firm, workable disk that rolls out beautifully into a rustic round, ready to cradle whatever sweet or savory filling you have in mind. Once you see how simple and clean this process is, reaching for a packaged crust will feel completely unnecessary.
