Here’s our go-to recipe for galette dough. A galette is a free form pie, which can be made of the either sweet or savory variety. Why do we love them? Well, a galette much simpler to make than the preciseness of a pie! You simply roll out the dough into a dough circle and top it: no pie pan or crimping required! This galette dough is perfectly flaky, with a bit of whole wheat flour for some added flavor. Here’s how to make it!
How to make galette dough
Galette dough is essentially a pie dough: the ingredients for this one are simply flour, butter, egg yolk, vinegar, and salt. This galette dough has a bit of whole wheat flour to add flavor. Does that make it healthy? Honestly, not really: there’s only a ½ cup of the whole wheat flour, so it’s not adding many nutrients compared to the 1 ½ cups all purpose flour. But we love the flavor that it brings. If you prefer a pie crust with a little rye flour, try our Rye Pie Crust recipe. How to make galette dough? Here are the main steps:

Galettes are fun to make because they’re so easy: simply form the dough into a circle, top, and bake! You don’t have to worry about transferring it to a pie pan or crimping the edges.

If you’d like to make this into a vegan galette dough, you can substitute coconut oil for the butter. We’ve used this concept in our Vegan Pot Pie with Sage Crust: it adds a tinge of coconut flavor, but is not overwhelming! Let us know if you try it out.
