When the dough has doubled in size, punch it down. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for another 30 minutes.

將麵團輾成長方形(約5X15寸)。

Roll out Dough to form a rectangle (approx. 10”X10”).

將牛油壓按成約5X5寸正方形。

Reshape butter to the size roughly to a 5”X5” square.

用麵團包裹牛油。

Place butter in the centre of the dough, and fold over the sides.

Step 3:
