Butter Pie Dough

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 12 hours
Serve: 8
INGREDIENTS:

10 oz + 1tbsp butter (300g) butter

3⁄4 cup ice cold water

1 tbsp vinegar

4 cups flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 1⁄2 tsp salt

Instruction:

In a mixer add all dry ingredients and butter. Mix on slow for a few minutes until butter resembles small peas. Add your water and vinegar mix while mixer is going on speed 2-4. You must be very careful after you add the water, mix on slow for a 3-4 minutes (this will depend on ambient temperature, mixer etc). Once it begins to look slightly coarse and the mixer slows down, that is your sign to stop.)

Dump it onto your work bench, and slightly press the dough to bring it together into a round shape. You can use your palms, but be very gentle and don’t overwork! Once in a circular disc use a bench scraper to cut in two pieces to “stack and squish” the dough. This will bring any shaggy dry parts together. Repeat once more. Wrap in saran wrap and re-shape into a disk. Allow for the dough to hydrate overnight in the refrigerator.

Once ready to use, remove the dough from the refrigerator allow it to sit on the counter for 10 minutes. You don’t want to roll your dough when it is too cold because it will crack. Roll out dough, and use a 3-4 inch bowl, or circular round, to cut out rounds for your galette.

Rounds can be kept frozen until ready to fill. If freezing, allow to defrost for 10 minutes before using, the rounds should be pliable.
