- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 1/2 inch thick) and place cold butter in the center; fold dough over to encase it.
- Roll out again into a long rectangle and fold into thirds like a letter; repeat two more times.
