Critical Success Points

  • Observe the rest times at room temperature and in the refrigerator
  • Keep the butter very cold during the folding turns
  • Do not forget the 30‑minute rest before the third turn
  • Moisten the dough before the final proof
  • Bake at 210 °C for 20 minutes

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven – wear kitchen gloves
  • The butter for lamination is very cold – avoid burns by handling it directly
