Caffeine Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
A great galette starts with great dough, and this buttery, flaky base is the kind of foundation that makes any filling shine. The technique here is all about keeping things cold — chilled butter worked into flour until it looks like coarse crumbs, with just enough ice water and a splash of apple cider vinegar to bring it together without overworking the gluten. That vinegar trick is a small but mighty move that keeps the dough tender and easy to roll out, even if pastry-making isn't your usual comfort zone. Since every ingredient is straightforward pantry staple territory, there's no need to scan labels for hidden stimulants or additives — just flour, butter, salt, sugar, and a little patience. The one-hour chill in the fridge is non-negotiable and genuinely worth it, giving you a dough that rolls out smoothly into that signature rustic circle without cracking or sticking. Whether you're loading it up with roasted vegetables, jammy stone fruit, or a savory cheese filling, this dough is the kind of recipe you'll come back to again and again.
