Steps

  1. 1

    Place the flour in a large bowl. Put the salt on one side and the sugar on the other. Make a well in the center and crumble in the fresh yeast. Add the milk and water, then mix with a dough hook or knead by hand until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for about 1 hour, until the dough doubles in size.

    Punch down the dough and shape it into a rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Take the butter and wrap it in parchment paper to form a 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square. Pound it with a rolling pin, then roll it out to about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Place in the refrigerator.
