Honey Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
A great 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 pinch of sugar, cold butter, apple cider vinegar, and ice water — keeps things honest and straightforward, with no sweeteners beyond that tiny measure of sugar. That makes it a natural fit for anyone avoiding honey, since so many store-bought pastry doughs and pre-made crusts sneak it in as a binder or flavor booster. The apple cider vinegar is the quiet hero here, gently inhibiting gluten development so the finished crust stays tender rather than tough. Keeping the butter well-chilled and working quickly with your fingertips is the key to those pea-sized butter pockets that create steam in the oven and produce that signature shatter-and-flake texture. Once it's rested in the fridge and rolled into a rough 12-inch circle, you've got a rustic, golden canvas for roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, or anything else your kitchen is craving.
