How to Make Galette Dough

Galette dough is one of the easiest pastry doughs you can make. You will only need four ingredients and an hour in the refrigerator.

I am not a fan of making pies. I find the process too fussy. Flour, butter, salt, and water make this galette dough buttery and flaky once combined and chilled. Use a food processor or a bowl and pastry cutter.

Create a dough that is evenly moistened and presses easily.

Empty onto your work space and form dough into a disk. Wrap and refrigerator for an hour.
