Prepare everything necessary. Put the water in the refrigerator in advance, it should be icy. On the contrary, take out the butter in advance so that it has time to soften well.
Put the soft butter in a bowl, also send 50 g of flour from the total amount. (butter, flour)
200 g butter, 350 g flour
Mash with a spoon until smooth.
Place on parchment.
Cover with another half of the baking paper and distribute the butter inside with an even layer about 2-3 mm thick. You can do this with a rolling pin or by hand. Put in the freezer, it will harden very quickly.
Sift flour into a bowl, add salt. (flour, salt)
½ tsp salt, 350 g flour
Mix, pour in lemon juice. (lemon juice)
1 tbsp lemon juice
And icy water. Introduce the liquid in parts. (water)
150 ml water
Mix and assess the consistency, as the amount of water required may be less or more, depending on the type of flour.
When it becomes difficult to stir with a spoon - continue with your hands. You should get a soft, elastic, homogeneous lump. Cover with film, put in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Roll out the dough into a layer, approximately twice the size of the butter blank. Place the butter in the center, it peels off the paper well.
Wrap the edges in such a way that the butter does not peek out anywhere.
Fold in half, roll out. Act carefully so as not to tear the thin layers. Repeat this sequence 8-10 times. The more, the flakier the dough will be.
The layered yeast-free dough is completely ready for further work. It turned out to be 700 grams of dough.
