This process can also be carried out by hand using a rolling pin, however for professional results, a dough sheeter is used.
Using a dough sheeter, spread some flour on the butter and roll it out to a 15 cm by 30 cm sheet. Roll through the dough sheeter several times if needed.
Place the butter in the middle of the dough and fold the dough around the butter.
Make a book or a double fold, followed by a single fold.
Humidify the dough slightly to ensure the chocolate dough sticks.
Roll out the chocolate dough to the same size of the laminated dough and cover the laminated dough.
Place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes before rolling out.
