Critical Success Points
- • Keeping the butter cold but pliable before lamination.
- • Enclosing the butter completely with dough without tearing.
- • Executing the double fold correctly to create distinct layers.
- • Respecting the resting times (1 h then 2 h) to allow gluten relaxation.
Safety Warnings
- • The sheeter rollers spin quickly – keep fingers clear and use a push‑through guard if available.
- • Do not let butter become too warm; melted butter will leak and ruin layers.
- • Use a sharp bench scraper to avoid slipping and cutting yourself.
