Pork Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
A great galette starts with great dough, and this buttery, flaky base is the kind of foundation that makes any filling shine. The technique is straightforward — cold butter worked into flour until crumbly, brought together with a splash of apple cider vinegar and ice water — but the results feel genuinely impressive. That vinegar trick is a small detail that makes a real difference, keeping the gluten relaxed so the finished crust stays tender rather than tough. Everything here is built from pantry staples: flour, salt, sugar, unsalted butter, and a little cold water. There's no lard, no rendered fat, no animal products beyond the butter, so it's naturally free from any pork-derived ingredients without requiring any substitutions or label-checking. Once chilled and rolled into that rough 12-inch circle, it's ready to cradle whatever sweet or savory filling you have in mind. This is the kind of dough you'll come back to again and again.
