A good galette dough is one of those foundational kitchen skills that quietly transforms your cooking, and this version is as reliable as it gets. Made with just flour, butter, salt, sugar, apple cider vinegar, and ice water, every ingredient here is straightforward and nursing-parent approved — no additives, no preservatives, nothing you'd need to second-guess. The chilled butter worked into coarse crumbs is what gives the finished crust those irresistible flaky layers, while the splash of apple cider vinegar helps keep the dough tender without toughening the gluten. When you're breastfeeding and keeping a close eye on what goes into your meals, it genuinely helps to build dishes from scratch like this rather than reaching for store-bought pastry with a long ingredient list. The dough comes together quickly, rests in the fridge, and rolls out into a rustic round that's ready for whatever savory filling you're craving. Whether you load it up with roasted vegetables, cheese, or whatever's fresh in your kitchen, you're starting from a clean, wholesome base that you made yourself.
