Critical Success Points

  • Ensure water/butter mixture is warm, not hot, before adding yeast.
  • Do not over-knead the dough after initial mixing.
  • Chill butter filling thoroughly before shaping.
  • Seal butter well inside dough to prevent leakage.
  • Brush with butter before baking to avoid tough crust.

Safety Warnings

  • Ensure water/butter mixture is not too hot before adding yeast to prevent killing yeast.
  • Use caution when handling hot baking trays and melted butter.
  • Be careful with sharp knives or bench scrapers when dividing dough.
