Critical Success Points

  • Encase the butter block without piercing it.
  • Observe the cold rest times between each turn.
  • Always turn a quarter turn with the opening to the right.
  • Do not overwork the dough to avoid gluten development.
  • Seal the edges properly to prevent cream leakage during baking.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle melted butter and hot chocolate with care to avoid burns.
  • Use gloves or a towel when handling very cold dough to prevent frostbite.
  • Watch the knife blade during decorative incisions.
