A good galette starts with great dough, and this one delivers a buttery, flaky base that's ready to hold whatever savory filling you have in mind. The short ingredient list — flour, salt, a touch of sugar, cold butter, apple cider vinegar, and ice water — keeps things clean and straightforward, with no hidden sweeteners or high-fructose additives to worry about. The tiny amount of sugar here is minimal enough to fit comfortably within a fructose-conscious approach, and every other ingredient is naturally free of fruit sugars. Working cold butter into the flour until you hit those coarse, pea-sized crumbs is the real secret to a crust that bakes up tender and shatteringly crisp at the edges. The splash of apple cider vinegar is a quiet but clever move — it relaxes the gluten just enough to keep the dough easy to roll without making it tough. After a good chill in the fridge, it rolls out into a beautiful rough circle that's forgiving and rustic by design. This is the kind of foundational recipe you'll come back to again and again once you realize how simple homemade pastry dough can actually be.
