Turmeric Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
A good galette dough is the kind of kitchen foundation that makes everything else feel possible — sweet fillings, savory toppings, whatever the season calls for. This version keeps things beautifully simple: flour, butter, a pinch of salt and sugar, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and ice water are all you need. The vinegar is a quiet workhorse here, helping to keep the gluten relaxed so the finished crust stays tender and flaky rather than tough. Working cold butter into the flour until you get those rough, pea-sized pieces is the real secret to those gorgeous laminated layers once it hits the oven. Because the ingredient list is so clean and straightforward, anyone avoiding turmeric — which sneaks into plenty of spice blends, store-bought pastry doughs, and even some flavored butters — can use this recipe with complete confidence. There's nothing hidden, nothing unnecessary, just honest pastry technique done right. Roll it out rustic and imperfect, fold up the edges, and let it do its thing.
