Method
Preparation and Cooking Directions
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Laminate the Dough
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin rectangle. Spread a thin layer of butter over the surface, then fold the dough into thirds like a letter. Roll out again into a rectangle and repeat the buttering and folding process twice more for each piece.
