Critical Success Points

  • Ensure the butter and dough are at the same temperature (18‑19 °C) before wrapping
  • Observe the refrigeration resting times (30 min, 2 h, 2 h)
  • Do not overwork the dough during the initial mixing
  • Use the roller press technique so the butter stays incorporated

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful with hot melted butter when preparing the dough
  • Use a sharp knife to avoid slips
  • Do not leave the dough at room temperature too long to avoid bacterial growth
