Ingredients

Scale
  • 226 grams cold butter, cubed
  • 240 grams all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 115 ml cold water

Instructions

    1. Add flour and salt into the glass bowl.

    1. Cut cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour and salt.

    1. Rub the butter into the flour until the pieces are small and flattened. Having butter pieces in the flour mixture is good and necessary to create that flaky dough texture.

    1. Create a pool in the middle of the flour mixture. Add the water and start mixing the dough.

    1. Mix the dough until all ingredients are combined.

    1. Cover the dough ball with flour, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for 20 minutes.

    1. Remove dough from the refrigerator and place on a clean surface.

    1. Stretch or press the dough out into a rectangle shape.

    1. Use the marble rolling pin to roll out the dough into a rectangle, about a 12x6 inch size.
        • You should see butter pieces and the dough should look marbly.

    1. Fold like a letter, 3 fold.

    1. Turn the dough sheet and roll out again. Repeat and fold two more times.

    1. After the third fold, cover the dough with plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

    1. Your dough is now ready to bake for any dessert of savory treat.
