Lactose Free Classic Savory Galette Dough

Rustic, free-form, and endlessly versatile, a savory galette is one of those recipes that looks impressively chef-y without demanding much from you at all. This dough comes together with just a handful of pantry staples — flour, salt, sugar, chilled butter, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and ice water — making it a naturally straightforward choice for anyone avoiding dairy-heavy pastry recipes. The butter here is the only dairy component, and since it contains virtually no lactose, most people who are lactose intolerant find it completely comfortable to enjoy. The apple cider vinegar is a clever little trick that relaxes the gluten just enough to give you a tender, flaky crust without any milk, cream, or buttermilk in sight. Keeping the butter well-chilled and working quickly with your fingertips is the real secret to those gorgeous, layered flakes that shatter when you cut into the finished galette. Once the dough is rested and rolled out, it's ready to cradle whatever savory filling you have in mind — roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, or anything else the season inspires. It's the kind of foundational recipe you'll come back to again and again.
