At this point soften the butter by using a rolling pin or using a mixer. Shape into rectangle between parchmentpaper and place in refrigerator until needed. Pull the dough out of the refrigerator and roll out by using a rolling pin or a dough sheeter to ½ inch thickness, shape into a rectangle form. Pull out butter and let itsoften. Ideally, the dough and butter should have the same flexibility.   Place the butter on 2/3 of the dough. With the other 1/3 of dough place over the butter, then place the other side of the dough toresemble an S-shape structure. T he dough will be laminated 3 times with 15 minutes of rest time between each fold in refrigerator. Once the dough is ready for the final sheeting, roll out to a 1/4 inch (6mm) thickness. Cut the dough in half and place one half in the refrigerator as this will be for the bottom part.
