Nitrate & Nitrite Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
A good galette starts with great dough, and this buttery, flaky base is the kind of foundation that makes any filling shine. The short ingredient list — flour, salt, sugar, cold unsalted butter, apple cider vinegar, and ice water — is refreshingly clean, with no cured meats, processed additives, or preservatives anywhere in sight. That makes it a natural fit for anyone keeping a close eye on what goes into their food, since store-bought pastry doughs and pie crusts can quietly harbor ingredients you'd rather avoid. The apple cider vinegar is a small but clever touch, helping to keep the gluten tender so the finished crust stays delicate rather than tough. Working cold butter into the flour until you get those pea-sized pieces is the real secret to those gorgeous, shattering layers once it bakes. After a chill in the fridge, the dough rolls out beautifully into a rustic round that's ready to cradle whatever seasonal filling you have in mind. Simple, honest, and completely from scratch — this is the kind of dough that becomes a permanent part of your cooking routine.
