Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Butter Layer Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Butter

    While the dough is rising, take the cold butter and pound it into a flat rectangle between two sheets of parchment paper. Chill in the fridge.

Layering and Folding

  1. 7

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a large rectangle.

  2. 8

    Add Butter Layer

    Place the chilled butter layer in the center of the dough rectangle and fold the dough over to encase the butter.

  3. 9

    Roll and Fold

    Roll the dough out into a long rectangle and fold it into thirds. Repeat this rolling and folding process 3-4 times, chilling in the fridge for 30 minutes between each fold.

    After the final fold, roll the dough out one last time and cut it into triangles. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point.
