Rice Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
Rustic, free-form, and endlessly versatile, this savory galette dough is the kind of foundational recipe every home baker should have in their back pocket. It comes together with just a handful of pantry staples — all-purpose flour, cold butter, a pinch of salt and sugar, and a splash of apple cider vinegar that helps keep the crust tender without making it tough. The technique is forgiving by design: you're working toward shaggy and crumbly, not smooth and perfect, which means even beginner bakers can nail it on the first try. For anyone avoiding rice and rice-based flours, this dough is a natural fit — it's built entirely on wheat flour with zero grain swaps or specialty substitutes needed. The chilled butter gets worked in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, and that's exactly what gives the finished crust its signature flaky, golden layers. After a rest in the fridge, it rolls out beautifully into a rough circle ready to cradle whatever savory filling you have in mind. Keep this one saved — it's the base that makes weeknight galettes feel like something special.
