[Ingredients]

• 150g butter

• 100g bread flour + extra for dusting

• 100g plain flour

• 4g salt

• 100g cold/iced water

[Steps]

1. Place both flours and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut butter into cubes and add in.

2. Using fingertips, gently knead butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

3. Make a well in the center and add in the water. Using a scraper, mix the water in until mixture is well mixed.

4. Place dough onto worktop and knead until a smooth dough is formed.

5. Shape dough roughly into a rectangle. Wrap with cling film and let rest chilled for 1hr.

6. Place dough on a lightly floured worktop and roll it out using a rolling pin. Roll until the length is about 3-4 times longer than the original length.

7. Fold one third from the bottom to the center and the top one third to the center, forming a three fold.

8. Turn the dough 90deg and roll it out until the length is about 3-4 times longer than the original length, fold into three fold again.
