Sesame 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 short ingredient list — flour, salt, sugar, cold butter, apple cider vinegar, and ice water — is refreshingly straightforward, with no hidden sauces, blended seasonings, or specialty oils that could sneak in unwanted allergens. That apple cider vinegar is a quiet hero here, adding just enough acidity to keep the gluten tender and the crust delightfully crisp without changing the flavor. Working cold butter into the flour until you hit those coarse, pea-sized crumbs is the move that creates all those gorgeous flaky layers once it hits the oven. Store-bought pastry dough can be a minefield when you're avoiding sesame, since shared production lines and seasoned blends are common culprits — making a homemade version like this one genuinely worth the extra step. The dough comes together quickly, chills into a firm, workable disk, and rolls out into a rustic round that's ready for whatever sweet or savory filling you have in mind.
