Gelatin Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
Flaky, buttery pastry dough is the foundation of so many beloved dishes, and this galette version delivers that perfect rustic crust with just a handful of pantry staples. The secret to its tender, shatter-crisp layers is keeping the butter ice-cold and working it in just enough to leave those pea-sized pieces intact — they're what create all that gorgeous flakiness in the oven. A splash of apple cider vinegar in the ice water helps relax the gluten slightly, making the dough easier to roll out without turning tough. Many store-bought pastry doughs and pie crusts sneak in unexpected additives, so making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in. The ingredient list here is refreshingly short: flour, butter, salt, sugar, vinegar, and water — nothing hidden, nothing unnecessary. Once chilled and rolled into that rough 12-inch circle, it's ready to cradle whatever sweet or savory filling you have in mind, with those rustic folded edges doing all the heavy lifting on presentation.
