Place the chilled butter in the middle and fold the corners, right over left, making sure to seal the edges. 14. Do not handle the dough with your whole hands, only with the finger tips, this way you are transferring little heat onto the dough. 15. Roll and flatten the dough into a rectangle, we suggest that you roll it on top of a large tray, this will keep the dough cold to avoid the butter from melting inside. 16. Put the large tray with the dough on top to chill butter inside the dough. The reason the dough is being chilled is to make sure the butter is not absorb by the dough, by the time you finish this process your dough will have a thin sheet of butter on each layer. 17. After 10 minutes, remove dough from freezer, fold again right over left and roll and flatten again with a rolling pin to form another rectangular shaped dough. 18. Repeat this process 4 times. Cut into rectangle shape. 19. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 20. Bake the dough for about 10 to 15 minutes or until crust is golden. Cool completely. 21.
