Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1. Sift the flour onto a clean work surface. Mix it with salt, water, and the egg yolk. Knead the ingredients into a smooth dough and place it in the refrigerator, covered, for about 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Quickly knead the butter with the flour until you have a uniform mass. Shape this into six small rectangular blocks. Also place these in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  3. 3. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle, about 3 millimeters thick. Make sure the center of the dough remains slightly thicker than the edges.
  4. 4. Place the butter blocks in the center of the rolled-out dough.
  5. 5. Pull the four corners of the dough tightly over the butter. Roll everything out into a rectangle about finger-thick. Gently brush off any excess flour with a brush.
  6. 6. Fold the bottom third of the dough over the center. Place the top third over it. Make sure the layers lie exactly on top of each other.
  7. 7. Rotate the dough package by 90 degrees so that the seam is facing right or left. Roll it out into a rectangle again. Now fold the dough plate into four parts. Work quickly so the dough does not get too warm, and brush off flour repeatedly.
  8. 8. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  9. 9. Roll the dough out into a rectangle again and fold it into three parts. Then roll it out again and fold it into four parts.
  10. 10. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight before using it further.
