Citrus 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. Many store-bought pastry doughs and even some homemade recipes sneak in lemon juice or other citrus to help with texture — this one skips all of that entirely, using apple cider vinegar instead to achieve that same tender, workable result without a drop of citrus in sight. The technique is straightforward: cold butter worked into seasoned flour, a splash of vinegar-spiked ice water, and a good chill in the fridge to let everything come together. Those visible pea-sized butter pieces are exactly what you want — they're the secret to those gorgeous, shatter-crisp layers once the dough hits the oven. Rolling it out into a rough, rustic circle is part of the charm, because a galette is meant to look a little imperfect and homemade. Whether you're loading it up with roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, or a savory cheese filling, this dough holds its own without fussing. Keep this one in your back pocket — it's the kind of reliable, no-stress pastry recipe you'll come back to again and again.
