Yeast Free Classic Savory Galette Dough
Rustic, free-form, and deeply satisfying, this galette dough delivers a flaky, buttery crust without a single packet of yeast in sight. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, pastry can feel like a minefield — but this straightforward dough relies entirely on cold butter, a splash of apple cider vinegar, and ice water to create that coveted tender, layered texture. The vinegar is the quiet hero here, relaxing the gluten just enough to keep the crust from turning tough while giving you that subtle depth of flavor. Keeping the butter well-chilled and working quickly with your fingertips is the real trick to those beautiful pea-sized butter pockets that puff and shatter when baked. Once the dough rests in the fridge and firms up, it rolls out into a gorgeous rough circle that's practically begging to be piled with roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, or a savory cheese filling. It's the kind of foundational recipe you'll reach for again and again, whether you're feeding a crowd or just treating yourself to something homemade and impressive.
