Rustic, flaky, and endlessly versatile, this galette dough is the kind of foundational recipe that earns a permanent spot in your rotation. The magic is in the method — chilled butter worked into flour until crumbly, with just enough ice water and a splash of apple cider vinegar to bring it all together without overworking the gluten. That vinegar trick is subtle but brilliant, keeping the dough tender and pliable so it rolls out beautifully into that signature rough-edged circle. Every ingredient here is straightforward pantry staple territory: flour, salt, sugar, unsalted butter, and water — nothing hidden, nothing processed, nothing to second-guess. For anyone navigating soy sensitivities, store-bought pastry doughs and pie crusts can be a minefield of unexpected additives and oils, so making your own from scratch is genuinely the smarter move. Once chilled and rolled, this dough is ready to cradle whatever sweet or savory filling you have in mind, with those gorgeous rustic folds that make a galette look like you really know what you're doing.
