Critical Success Points
- • Do not over‑work the détrempe to avoid excessive gluten development.
- • Strictly observe the cold resting times between each turn.
- • Ensure the butter remains completely sealed inside the dough during the turns.
Safety Warnings
- • Handling very cold butter can make the dough fragile; work on a stable surface.
- • Be careful with the knife or dough cutter to avoid cuts.
