MSG Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
A great galette starts with a great crust, and this one delivers — flaky, buttery, and just sturdy enough to hold a generous pile of filling without cracking or falling apart. The secret is keeping everything cold: chilled butter worked into the flour creates those coveted pea-sized pockets that puff into tender, layered pastry in the oven. A small splash of apple cider vinegar goes into the ice water, which relaxes the gluten just enough to make the dough easy to roll without turning tough. Store-bought doughs and pastry mixes can be surprisingly tricky to vet for additives and flavor enhancers, so making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in. Every ingredient here is clean and straightforward — flour, salt, sugar, butter, vinegar, water, and nothing else. Whether you're going sweet with stone fruit or savory with roasted vegetables and cheese, this dough is the kind of reliable base you'll come back to every single time.
