High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
Rustic, free-form, and endlessly versatile, this savory galette dough is the kind of foundational recipe every home baker should have in their back pocket. Store-bought pastry and pie crusts are notorious for sneaking in unwanted sweeteners — including high fructose corn syrup — so making your own from scratch is genuinely the smarter move. Here, the ingredient list is refreshingly short: flour, salt, a touch of sugar, real butter, apple cider vinegar, and ice water. That's it. The vinegar is a small but clever addition that relaxes the gluten just enough to keep the crust tender and flaky without overworking the dough. Chilling the butter before you start and keeping everything cold as you work is what creates those gorgeous, layered, pea-sized butter pockets that shatter when baked. Once you've rolled it out into that rough 12-inch circle, it's ready to cradle whatever savory filling you're dreaming up — roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, cheese, you name it. Clean ingredients, zero shortcuts, and a crust that tastes like it came from a proper French bakery.
