  4. 4

    Cover the dough and let it rise till it doubles in size.

  5. 5

    Roll the dough into a rectangle and distribute slices of cold butter over two-thirds of the surface.

  6. 6

    Fold the dough like a letter, turn it 90 degrees and roll it into a rectangle again.

  7. 7

    Repeat folding and rolling twice more, chilling the dough for 30 minutes in between each fold.

  8. 8

    Roll the dough one last time into a large rectangle. Cut it into triangles.
