Step-by-Step
1 Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface, shape the dough into a ball
Cut the dough in the shape of a cross with a knife
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes
2 On a floured surface, open the dough, using a rolling pin, into the shape of a cross (the center will be thicker)
Wrap the butter with parchment paper
3 Mold the butter with the parchment paper to obtain a square of 10 cm
Remove the paper and place the butter in the center of the dough
Fold one end over the butter, then the other, creating a package-like shape
4 Dust the surface of the dough with flour
Using the rolling pin, open the dough uniformly to obtain a rectangle (for
the butter to incorporate well into the dough)
5 Place the ends in the center of the dough
Remove excess flour and open the dough again
Repeat the folds five times, without forgetting the refrigeration period
Finally, open it to a thickness of 0.5 cm and use it as desired
